Directions: The given bar graph shows the sales of cars from six branches of a dealer B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B6, during two consecutive years 2018 and 2019. Blue colour corresponds to the year 2018 and red colour corresponds to the year 2019.
The total sales of cars from all the branches in the year 2018 is what percentage less than the total sales of cars from all the branches in the year 2019? (correct to one decimal place)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 12.7%.
Total sales in 2018 = 80 + 75 + 95 + 85 + 75 + 70 = 480
Total sales in 2019 = 105 + 65 + 110 + 95 + 95 + 80 = 550
Difference = 550 - 480 = 70
Required percentage = 70/550 × 100 = 12.7%
