What is the percentage increase in the total production of all types of motorcycles from 2014 to 2018?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total production in 2014 = 84 + 87 + 89 + 100 = 360
Total production in 2018 = 98 + 92 + 110 + 120 = 420
Required percentage = \(\frac{420 - 360}{360}\) × 100
= 16\(\frac{2}{3}\)
