Study the given graph and answer the question that follows. By what percentage is 80% of the total export of sugar in 2016, 2017 and 2019 more than the total production in 2015 and 2018 (correct to one decimal place)? |
5.9% 6.3% 8.4% 7.7% |
6.3% |
Total export of sugar in 2016, 2017 and 2019 = 270 + 360 + 380 = 1010 80% of Total export of sugar in 2016, 2017 and 2019 = \(\frac{4}{5}\) × 1010 = 808 Total production in 2015 and 2018 = 320 + 440 = 760 Required percentage = \(\frac{1010 - 760 }{760}\) × 100 = \(\frac{ 48 }{760}\) × 100 = 6.3% |
