Total exports of cosmetics in four years is approximately what percent less than the total exports of Garments and Jewellery in 2015 and 2018?

Options:

12.2

10.4

9.8

11.6

Correct Answer:

10.4

Explanation:

Total export of cosmetics in all 4 years = \(\frac{15 }{100}\) × 400 + \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 650 + \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 500 + \(\frac{15 }{100}\) × 600

= 60 + 97.5 + 75 + 90

= 322.5

total exports of Garments and Jewellery in 2015 and 2018

= \(\frac{28 }{100}\) × 400 + \(\frac{28 }{100}\) × 600 + \(\frac{8 }{100}\) × 400 + \(\frac{8 }{100}\) × 600

= 112 + 168 + 32 + 48

= 360

Required percentage = \(\frac{360 - 322.5 }{360}\) × 400

= \(\frac{37.5 }{360}\) × 400

= 10.4%
