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%
