The given bar chart represents the number of Televisions Sets (TV) manufactured (in thousands) and the respective percentage of those TV Sets sold by five different companies A, B, C, D and E in 2015.
Study the chart carefully and answer the question that follows.
The average number of TV sets sold by companies C and D is what percentage of the number of TV sets manufactured by company E? Express your answer correct to one place of decimal.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
TV sold by C & D = \(\frac{82}{100}\) × 70 + \(\frac{56}{100}\) × 85
= 57.4 + 47.6 = 105
Average of TV sold by C & D = \(\frac{105}{2}\) = 52.5
TV sets manufactured by E = 58
Required percentage = \(\frac{52.5}{58}\) × 100 = 90.5%
