as per my undersanding
S=1/3M
L=1/2S
X=L
so total percentage of M size shirt:
1/3M+M+1/6M+1/6M=100
1/3M+M+1/3M=100
5/3M=100
M=60%

Answer / karthik
guess small shirts as 30
then medium shirts will be= 1/3=10
then large shirts will be= 1/2=5
then x-large shirts will be =5
so the total no. of shirts in store is= 30+10+5+5=50
therefore percent of the shirts in the store
are medium is = 30/50=60%
