Average and Percentage

Extract the data from the given table.

Average production of type C car during 2012 to 2016 = (44 + 45 + 67 + 63 + 76)/5 = 59

Total production of type D car in 2012 & type E car in 2014 = 46 + 64 = 110

Required percentage = [(110 – 59)/110] × 100 = 46.36%

 

 

[(110 – 59)/110] × 100

= 510/11

= 46.36%
