Question 85

If the sale of phones in 2012 registers a uniform 33% growth across all brand and all countries, what would be the combined sales volume of phones in india, Japan and Korea taken together, in that year?

Solution

Given that there is a uniform 33% growth across all brands and countries.

Global sales of all brands in 2012 = 133% of (21 + 32 + 47 + 54 + 28 + 12)

= 133% of 194

= 258.02 x 1000 units 

combined sales volume of phones in india, Japan and Korea taken together in that year,

= (9 + 10 + 14)% of 258.02 x 1000 

= 33% of 258.02

= 85146.6 $$\approx$$ 85124.6

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
