• A. 2016
• B. 2015
• C. 2017
• D. 2014

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 2017

Solution: Calculation: ⇒ average number of units manufactured per year = (350 + 375 + 300 + 450 + 420)/5 = 1895/5 = 379,000 ⇒ number of units of the product sold = 379,000 - 19,000 = 360,000 ∴ Clearly In 2017, number of units of the product sold = 360,000
