| D | 103 | 100 | 102 | 95 | 104 | 120 |
By what percentage the total production of type A motorcycles, over six years, is less than the total production of all types of motorcycles in 2013 and 2016?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e 30.5.
| Understanding/Application |
|
Total type A bikes produced over 6 years = 95 + 84 + 85 + 89 + 80 + 98 = 531 |
|
Total production of all bikes in the year 2013 and 2016 = 95 + 98+ 104 + 103 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 95 = 764 Thus, the required percentage = [(764 - 531) × 100]/764 = (233 × 100)/764 = 30.5% |
