The total production of type E cars in 2012 and 2013 is approximately what percent more than the average production of type A cars during the years 2012 to 2016?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Correct Answer is option 4 i.e. 55.2

Application

Total production of type E cars in 2012 and 2013 = 47 + 43 = 90

Average of production of type A cars

= (54 + 58 + 60 + 63 + 55)/5 = 58

Percentage difference

= [(90 – 58)/58] × 100

= 32/58 × 100

= 55.2% (Approx.)
