The bar graph indicates the production of sugar (in lakh tonnes) by three different sugar companies P, Q and R over the years 2015 to 2019. By what percentage is the total production of sugar by company P from the year 2015 to 2019 more than the total production of sugar by company R from the year 2015 to 2019? |
18% 18.5% 23.28% 15% |
23.28% |
Total production of sugar by company P from the year 2015 to 2019 = 80 + 70 + 80 + 100 + 120 = 450 Total production of sugar by company R from the year 2015 to 2019 = 50 + 70 + 65 + 90 + 90 = 365 Required percentage = \(\frac{450-365 }{365}\) × 100 = \(\frac{ 85 }{365}\) × 100 = 23.28% |
