The total daily sales of newspaper P in cities B, D, and E is what percentage less than that of newspaper Q in cities A, C, D, and E?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 22.5
The total daily sales of newspaper P in cities B, D, and E = 560 + 750 + 550 = 1860
The total daily sales of newspaper Q in cities A, C, D, and E = 450 + 650 + 680 + 620 = 2400
required percentage = [(2400 - 1860)/2400] × 100 = 22.5
