The bar graph given below shows the sales of Newspapers (in lakh number) from six branches of a Media Publication Company during two consecutive years 2017 and 2018. (Note: The data shown below is only for mathematical exercise. They do not represent the actual figures). Total Sales of U for both the years is what percent (correct to one place of decimal) of the combined Sales of the branches Q and R for 2017 and 2018 ? Correct Answer 44.4%
Sales of the branch Q & R for the year of 2017 & 2018 combined = (85 + 85 + 105 + 130) lakh = 405 lakh
Sales of the branch U for the year of 2017 & 2018 = (80 + 100) lakh = 180 lakh
Now, the percentage of the sales branch of U of the combined Sales of the branches Q and R for 2017 and 2018
⇒ 180/405 × 100%
⇒ 44.4%
∴ The percentage of the sales branch of U of the combined Sales of the branches Q and R for 2017 and 2018 is 44.4%.
