Study the given bar chart and answer the question that follows. Production of Fertilizers by a Company (in 10,000 tonnes) Over the Years.
What was the approximate percentage increase in the production of fertilizers from 1998 to 1999?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3

Production of fertilizer in 1999 = 65
Percentage increase in production of fertilizer from 1998 to 1999
= \(\frac{65-45 }{45}\) × 100
= \(\frac{20 }{45}\) × 100
= 44.4%
