Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e 23.3
Explanation:
The total number of cars sold by companies A in 2017 and C in 2013 = 52 + 65 = 117
The total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2013 = 45 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 240
The total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2016 = 72 + 58 + 70 + 63 = 263
The total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2013 and 2016 = 240 + 263 = 503
Required percentage = (117)/(503) × 100 = 23.26% ~ 23.3%
