The number of units of the product sold in 2016 is approximately what percent more than the average production of the units in 2012 to 2016?

Options:

24

32

21

27

Correct Answer:

27

Explanation:

Number of product sold in 2016 = 470

Average number of units produced in 2012 to 2016

= \(\frac{320+338+432+256+504 }{5}\)

= \(\frac{ 1850 }{5}\)

= 370

Required percentage = \(\frac{470 - 370 }{370}\) × 100

= \(\frac{100 }{370}\) × 100

= 27.02%

= 27%   ( Approx )
