Calculations:

Number of erasers sold in shop D = 15

Number of scales sold in shop D is 20% more than the number of erasers sold.

Number of scales sold = Number of erasers sold + 20% of number of erasers sold

Number of scales sold = 15 + (20/100) × 15

Number of scales sold = 15 + 3 = 18

∴ The number of scales sold in shop D is 18.
