The given pie charts represent the popularity of ice-cream flavours in the years 2005 and 2015. If a percentage point shift results in annual additional sales of Rs. 10,000, how much (in Rs.), did the combined annual strawberry and butterscotch sales increase from 2005 to 2015? Correct Answer Rs. 74,000
Given:
1% = Rs. 10000
In 2005,
Strawberry = 18.90%, Butterscotch = 10.80%
In 2015,
Strawberry = 20.50%, Butterscotch = 16.60%
Calculation:
Total sales in 2005
⇒ 18.90 + 10.80
⇒ 29.70%
Total sales in 2015
⇒ 20.50 + 16.60
⇒ 37.10%
Percentage Increase = (37.10 – 29.70)
⇒ 7.4%
⇒ Rs. (7.4 × 10000)
⇒ Rs. 74,000
∴ The required increase from 2005 to 2015 is Rs. 74000
