Question 65

By what percent did the total number ofcars sold by all three show rooms decrease during the year 2016, as compared to that in the year 2015 (nearest to one decimal place)?

Solution

Total sales in year 2015 = 650 + 520 + 540 = 1710

Total sales in year 2016 = 630 + 400 +430 = 1460

Decrease = 1710 - 1460 = 250

% decrease = $$\frac{250}{1710} \times 100$$

So, the answer would be option a)14.6%
