By what percentage is the total revenue of the company from the sale of products A, B and D in 2012 and 2013 more than the total revenue from the sale of product B in 2013 to 2016?(Correct to one decimal place)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total revenue from sale of A , B & D in 2012 & 2013 = ( 98 + 74 + 74 ) + ( 94 + 96 + 102 )
= 538
Total revenue from sale of B from 2013 to 2016 = 96 + 92 + 84 + 98 = 370
Required percentage = \(\frac{538 - 370}{370}\) × 100
= \(\frac{168}{370}\) × 100
= 45.4%
