| D | 103 | 100 | 102 | 95 | 104 | 120 |
What is the percentage increase in the total production of all types of motorcycles from 2014 to 2018?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 16 2/3.
| Understanding/Application |
|
Total production of all types in 2014 = (84 + 87 + 89 + 100) = 360 Total production of all types in 2018 = (98 + 92 + 110 + 120) = 420 |
|
Percentage increase = [(420 - 360) × 100]/360 = (6000/360) = (1000/60) = (100/6) = 16 4/6 = 16 2/3 |
