The sum of the amounts invested during the years 2007, 2008 and 2010 is what percentage (correct to one decimal place) of the sum of the sales of products during 2009 and 2011?

Options:

60.4

61.4

61.5

60.5

Correct Answer:

60.5

Explanation:

Sum of the amounts invested during the years 2007, 2008 and 2010

= 220 + 450 + 660

= 1330

Sum of the sales of products during 2009 and 2011 = 1000 + 1200 = 2200

Required percentage = \(\frac{1330 }{2200}\) × 100

= 60.45%

= 60.5%  (correct to one decimal place)
