The total production of cars of type B in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017 taken together is what percent less than the total production of all types of cars in 2017? (Correct to one decimal place)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 17.6

Total production of B type of cars in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017 = 39 + 45 + 54 + 72 = 210

Production of all types of cars in 2017 = 36 + 72 + 45 + 47 + 55 = 255

Required percentage = [(255 – 210)/255] × 100 = 900/51 = 17.6% (Approx.)
