If the same percentage increase in the number of Heavy Vehicle as in 1994 over 1993 is expected in 1995, approximately how many heavy vehicles will be sold in 1995?
- 141
- 156
- 176
- 181
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In this question, by referring the table chart, first we need to calculate the increase(in percentage) in sale of Heavy Vehicle in 1994 over 1993
Heavy Vehicle sold in 1993 = 81
Heavy Vehicle sold in 1993 = 107
Increase = 107 - 81 = 26
Now 26 is what percent of 81 ?
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{26}{81}*100 \right)\% \\
= 32\% \text{ aprox.}
\end{aligned}
So increase in sale were 32% in 1994, so get the answer we need to calculate the 132% of 107.
\begin{aligned}
\frac{132}{100}*107 \\
= 141.24
\end{aligned}
