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 C increases by the same percentage as in June 2022 over its previous month, then what is the no. of machines sold by C in July 2022?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
% increase from May to June by C = \(\frac{115}{625}\) × 100 = 18.4%
So, machines sold in July 2022 by C = \(\frac{740 × 118.4}{100}\) = 876.16
