The following table shows the amount (in quintals) of 6 different types of sweets sold by a shop during a given year.
| Sweet | Amount |
| S1 | 32 |
| S2 | 48 |
| S3 | 23 |
| S4 | 37 |
| S5 | 39 |
| S6 | 21 |
The amount of S1 sold in that year was what percentage of the average amount of sweets sold per type during that year?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 96%
Total number of sweets sold in that year = 200
The average number of sweets sold of each type = 200/6
The number of sweets sold of type S1 = 32
Required percentage = {(32)/(200/6)} × 100 = {(32 × 6)/200} × 100 = 96%
