1
The total production of Type P vehicles in the year 2009 and 2011 is what percent of total production of Type Q vehicles in 2010 and 2014?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{100 + 200}{150 + 225} \times 100 \cr & = \frac{300}{375} \times 100 \cr & = 80\% \cr} $$
2
Approximate percentage decrease in production of Types Q vehicles from 2010 to 2011 is:
Discuss
Answer & Solution
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{150 - 125}{150} \times 100 \cr & = \frac{25}{150} \times 100 \cr & = 16.6\% \approx 16.3\% \cr} $$
3
The production of type Q vehicles in 2010 was approximately what percent of Type P vehicles in 2014?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{\text{Type Q } \left(2010 \right)}{\text{Type P } \left(2014 \right)} \times 100 \cr & = \frac{150}{275} \times 100 \cr & = 54.5 \cr} $$
4
The ratio of total production of type P vehicles to total production of Type Q vehicles over the years is:
Discuss
Answer & Solution
P → 100 + 125 + 200 + 225 + 275 + 275 = 1200
Q → 175 + 150 + 125 + 175 + 175 + 225 = 1025
    P   :     Q
1200 : 1025
  48   :   41
5
In how many of the given years, was the production of Type P vehicles of the company more than the average production of this type vehicles in the given years?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Average production (Type P) = 200
No. of years production of Type P is higher than average = 3
