Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs 74,000
1% = Rs. 10000
In 2005 -
Strawberry = 18.90%
Butterscotch = 10.80%
In 2015 -
Strawberry = 20.50%
Butterscotch = 16.60%
Total sales in 2005 = 18.90 + 10.80 = 29.70%
Total sales in 2015 = 20.50 + 16.60 = 37.10%
Percentage Increase = 37.10 - 29.70 = 7.4%
The combined annual strawberry and butterscotch sales increase from 2005 to 2015 = 7.4 × 10000 = 74000
