The X-axis represents the years and the Y-axis displays the production of the three varieties in million tonnes.

The total production of green tea in 2016 and 2018 is what percent of the total production of herbal tea in 2015 and 2017 ?

Options:

83.4

85.6

79.7

81.8

Correct Answer:

81.8

Explanation:

Total production of green tea in 2016 and 2018 = 100 + 80 = 180

Total production of herbal tea in 2015 and 2017 = 100 + 120 = 220

Required percentage = \(\frac{180 }{220}\) × 100

= \(\frac{9 }{11}\) × 100

= 81.8%
