The given table represents the sale (in thousands) of cars by four companies A, B, C and in six years. Study the table and answer the question that follows.

The total number of cars sold by company B during 2015, 2017 and 2018 is what percentage less than the total number of cars sold by company C in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018?

33$\frac{1}{3}$

Total number of cars sold by company B during 2015, 2017 and 2018

= 60 + 53 + 67

= 180

Total number of cars sold by company C in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018

= 65 + 66 + 63 + 76

= 270

Required percentage = \(\frac{270 - 180}{270}\) × 100

= \(\frac{90}{270}\) × 100

= 33\(\frac{1}{3}\)
