• A. 30.8
• B. 30.3
• C. 29.6
• D. 29.4

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 30.3

Solution: Calculation: ⇒ number of product manufactured in 2013 = 350 ⇒ number of product manufactured in 2015 = 300 ⇒ total units of the product manufactured in 2013 and 2015 = (350 + 300) = 650 ⇒ total units unsold during the five years = (350 - 320) + (375 - 315) + (300 - 280) + (450 - 423) + (420 - 360) = 197 ∴ required percent = 197/650 × 100 = 30.3%
