A |
Percentage decrease in car of type A in 2017 comparison to 2016 = \(\frac{36 - 12 }{36}\) × 100 = \(\frac{24}{36}\) × 100 = - 66.67% Percentage decrease in car of type B in 2017 comparison to 2016 = \(\frac{48 - 12 }{12}\) × 100 = + 75% Percentage decrease in car of type C in 2017 comparison to 2016 = \(\frac{44 - 40 }{44}\) × 100 = - 9.09% Percentage decrease in car of type D in 2017 comparison to 2016 = \(\frac{38 - 22 }{38}\) × 100 = - 42.10% Percentage decrease in car of type E in 2017 comparison to 2016 = \(\frac{50 - 28 }{50}\) × 100 = - 44% Percentage Decrease is maximum for A i.e. 66.67% |
