Correct Answer 27%
Calculation:
The percentage in CFC emissions from the Cement sector in 2017 = 320
The total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2017 = (320 + 650 + 100 + 120)
⇒ 1190
Required percentage = (320/1190 × 100)
⇒ 26.89% ~ 27%
∴ The approximate contribution in percentage in CFC emissions from the cement sector, in comparison to that of the total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2017 is 27%
