The total number of cars sold by companies A in 2017 and C in 2013 is what percentage of the total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2013 and 2016? (correct to one decimal place)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total cars sold by A in 2017 & C in 2013 = 52 + 65 = 117
Total car sold by all 4 companies from 2013 to 2016 = ( 45 + 63 + 65 + 67 ) + ( 72 + 58 + 70 + 63 )
= 503
Required percentage = = \(\frac{117}{503}\) × 100
= 23.3%
