Year A B C
2015 840 680 890
2016 900 750 960
2017 760 620 1000
2018 800 540 1200

The total number of A-type cars produced by the company from 2015 to 2017 is what percentage (rounded off to the nearest integer) is more or less than the total number of C-type cars produced by the company from 2016 to 2018?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Less, 21%.

Total number of A-type cars (in thousands) produced by the company from 2015 to 2017 = 840 + 900 + 760 = 2500

Total number of C-type cars (in thousands) produced by the company from 2016 to 2018 = 960 + 1000 + 1200 = 3160

Required percentage = [(3160 - 2500)/3160] × 100 = (660/3160) × 100 = 20.886...% = 21% (approx)

Therefore, the total number of A-type cars produced by the company from 2015 to 2017 is 21% less than the total number of C-type cars produced by the company from 2016 to 2018.
