What was the percentage increase in the sale of Helmets C in 2002 as compared to that in 1999?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 25.93%.

The number of Helmets C in 2002 = 68

The number of Helmets C in 1999 = 54

Increase in number = 68 - 54 = 14

Required percentage = 14/54 × 100 = 25.93%
