Correct Answer 17.5%
Calculation:
Total number of cars sold by dealers B and E in April = (580 + 740) = 1320
80% of the total cars sold by dealers B and E in April = (1320 × 80/100)
⇒ (132 × 8)
⇒ 1056
Total number of cars sold by the dealers C and D in February = (635 + 645)
⇒ 1280
According to the question
Required percentage =
⇒ (224/1280 × 100)
⇒ (22400/1280)
⇒ 17.5%
∴ The required percentage is 17.5%
