Directions: Study the graph and answer the following question.
In which city the daily sales of newspaper P is 1.25 times the average daily sales of newspapers P in cities A, B, C, D and E?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. D
Average of newspaper P = (640 + 560 + 480 + 750 + 550)/5 = 2980/5 = 596.
To find which is 1.25 times.
Divide every city by the average
I.e. A = 640/596 = 1.07
B = 560/596 = 0.93
C = 480/596 = 0.80
D = 750/596 = 1.26 (Approx 1.25)
E = 550/596 = 0.83
Hence D is the city.
