The monthly production of electric bulbs by a company during the second half of the year 2021 is shown by the following bar graph. Study the bar graph carefully and answer the question given below.
What is the percentage decrement in the production of electric bulbs in October as compared to the production in July? (Correct up to two decimal places.)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 31.82%.
Production in July = 550
Production in October = 375
Decrement = 550 - 375 = 175
Percentage decrement = (175/550) × 100 = 31.8181...% ≈ 31.82%
Therefore, the percentage decrement in the production of electric bulbs in October as compared to the production in July is approximately 31.82%.
