The percentage of type E cars sold of the total number of cars sold was minimum in which year?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
By solving for all the options one by one ,
1. 2011
Percentage of E cars sold over all the cars sold in 2011 = \(\frac{14}{67}\) × 100
= 20.89%
2. 2007
Percentage of E cars sold over all the cars sold in 2007 = \(\frac{9}{54}\) × 100
= 16.67%
3 . 2010
Percentage of E cars sold over all the cars sold in 2010 = \(\frac{12}{67}\) × 100
= 17.91%
4. 2008
Percentage of E cars sold over all the cars sold in 2008 = \(\frac{12}{57}\) × 100
= 21.05%
So ,Minimum percentage of sale is 16.67% in 2007.
