Study the given bar graph and answer the question that follows.

The given bar graph represents the Sales Turnover (in ₹ crore) of five automobile companies A, B. C, D and E during 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. The X-axis represents the Companies, and the Y-axis shows the Sales Turnover (in ₹ crore).

(The data shown here is only for mathematical exercise. They do not represent the actual figures of the company.)

By what percentage is the average sales turnover of all the companies combined in 2015-2016 more than the average sales turnover of the companies A. C and E in 2014-2015 (to the nearest whole number)?

16

Average sales turnover of all the companies combined in 2015-2016

= \(\frac{1250+1125+900+1220+1290 }{5}\)

= \(\frac{ 5785 }{5}\)

= 1157

Average of sales turnover in 2014 - 2015 = \(\frac{1060+850+1080 }{3}\)

= \(\frac{ 2990 }{3}\)

= 996.67

Required percentage = \(\frac{1157-996.67 }{996.67}\) × 100

= \(\frac{160.33 }{996.67}\) × 100

= 16.08%

= 16%  ( nearest whole number )
