80% the total number of cars sold by dealers B and E in April is what percent less than the total number of cars sold by the dealers C and D in February?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
80% the total number of cars sold by dealers B and E in April
= \(\frac{4}{5}\) × ( 580 + 740 )
= 1056
Total cars sold by C & D in february = 635 + 645 = 1280
Required percentage= \(\frac{1280 - 1056}{1280}\) ×100
= \(\frac{224}{1280}\) × 100
= 17.5%
