Study the given graph carefully and answer the question that follows. Production of food grains by a state over the years (1000 tonnes)

What was the percentage drop in the production of food grains from 2018 to 2019 (consider up to two decimals)?

7.14%

Production of food grain in 2018 = 70

Production of food grain in 2019 = 65

Percentage decrease in production of food grains from 2018 to 2019 = \(\frac{70-65 }{70}\) × 100

= \(\frac{5 }{70}\) × 100

= 7.14%
