The total export of cement by both the companies in 2017 and 2019 is what percentage less than the total production of cement by the two companies in 2018 and 2020 (correct to one decimal place)?

  • A45.5%
  • B44.4%
  • C43.2%
  • D43.8%
Correct answer: B

Explanation

Exports in 2017 and 2019 = 170 + 190 + 220 + 320 = 900. Production in 2018 and 2020 = 340 + 360 + 450 + 470 = 1620. Percentage less = (1620 − 900)/1620 × 100 = 44.4%.
