The amount of S1 sold in that year was what percentage of the average amount of sweets sold per type during that year?

Options:

80%

84%

88%

96%

Correct Answer:

96%

Explanation:

Amount of S1 sold = 32

Average amount of Sweets of all type = \(\frac{32 + 48 + 23+37+39+21 }{6}\) 

= \(\frac{ 200 }{6}\)

= 33.33

Required percentage = \(\frac{32 }{33.33}\) × 100

= 96%
