Study the given table and answer the following question: Annual consumption (in hundred tonnes) of tea in five states (A, B, C, D and E) across 6 years (2014 to 2019): State Year A B C D E 2014 112 130 136 105 117 2015 122 138 150 140 120 2016 124 134 142 144 132 2017 132 154 198 149 133 2018 135 148 187 151 145 2019 153 136 198 150 187 The total consumption of tea in state C in 2015 to 2017 is by what percentage more than the total consumption of tea in states A, B and D in 2015? Correct Answer 22.5%
Given:
The consumption of tea in state C from 2015 to 2017 is 150, 142, 198 and of A, B, D in 2015 is 122, 138, 140 in hundred tonnes.
Calculation:
Now the total consumption of C from 2015 to 2017 is given by
⇒ Consumption of C = 150 + 142 + 198 = 490 in hundred tonnes.
And the consumption of A, B, D in 2015 is given by
⇒ Consumption of A, B, D = 122 + 138 + 140 = 400 in hundred tonnes.
The value of consumption of C more than of A, B, D is given by
⇒ Percentage is = (490 – 400)/400 = (90/400)×100 = 22.5%
∴ The total consumption of C from 2015 to 2017 is more by 22.5%
