Question 70

Out of its total sales, which region sold the minimum percentage of green saris?

Solution

Given we have 6 regions where sales are defined in the table number two . Now given that we need to find the region where green saris as a percentage of the total sales is lowest . In order to do that we calculate Green saris sold in a region/ Total sales of a particular region by considering the values from table 2 . 

Now for option 1 which is region 1 the value is (164/788)*100  = 20.81 %

For option 2 which is region 4 the value is (85/511)*100 = 16.63 %

For option 1 which is region 6 the value is (3/18)*100 = 16.66 %

For option 1 which is region 2  the value is (200/676)*100 = 29.58  % .

Hence among the given options the percentage of region 4 is lowest which is option 2 .
