Study the following table and answer the questions.
Number of machines (in thousands) sold by dealers A, B, C, D and E during six months of 2022.
In July 2022, if sale of machines by the dealer D increases by the same percentage as in June 2022 over its previous month, then what is the no. of machines sold by D in July 2022?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
% increase from May to June by D = \(\frac{1800}{600}\) × 100 = 30%
So, machines sold in July 2022 by D = \(\frac{780 × 130}{100}\) = 1014
