Study the following pie charts regarding to sales of 5 models of cars for the years 2010 and 2011, and answer the question
Question 18
If the 2010 sales for all car models is 80,000 and these have grown by 25% in 2011, then what is the approximate increase in the number of Figo cars sold in 2011 over 2010?
The number of Figos sold in 2010 = 80000*9/100 = 7200 The total number of cars sold increase by 25% and thus, total number of cars in 2011 = 100000 Thus, the total number of Figos sold in 2011 = 100000*44/360 = 12222 We can calculate the number of cars sold for the remaining cars too and the result is tabulated as shown below:-
Thus, the approximate increase in the number of Figo cars sold in 2011 over 2010 = 12222-7200 = 5002. Thus, the closest option is option A and is thus the answer.
