What is the percentage increase in the total production of all types of motorcycles from 2014 to 2018?

Options:

$14 \frac{3}{7}$

$17 \frac{1}{3}$

$16 \frac{2}{3}$

$14 \frac{2}{7}$

Correct Answer:

$16 \frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

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\(\frac{2}{3}\)
