Approximately what was the percentage decrease in number of desktops manufactured in 2012 from 2011? (correct to nearest integer)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Number of desktops manufactured in 2011 = 20200
Number of desktops manufactured in 2012 = 14900
Required percentage = \(\frac{20200 - 14900 }{20200}\) × 100
= \(\frac{5300 }{20200}\) × 100
= 26.23%
= 26% ( nearest integer )
