Question

The following charts show the sales share of five companies (A, B, C, D and E) for two fertilizer products, Fertilizer-P and Fertilizer-Q. The Fertilizer-P sale of company C is 2520 Kg and the Fertilizer-Q sale of company B is 3150 Kg.

What percentage of sales of fertilizer-Q from company C is to total sales of Fertilizer-P?

• A. 33.5
• B. 39.67
• C. 57.85
• D. 37.5

Hint:

First find both chart totals using the given absolute values, then compute company C's Fertilizer-Q sale and compare it to the Fertilizer-P total.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Company C holds 21% of Fertilizer-P and its sale is 2520 Kg, so total Fertilizer-P = 2520 / 0.21 = 12000 Kg.
Step 2: Company B holds 21% of Fertilizer-Q and its sale is 3150 Kg, so total Fertilizer-Q = 3150 / 0.21 = 15000 Kg.
Step 3: Fertilizer-Q sale of company C = 30% of 15000 = 4500 Kg.
Step 4: Required percentage = (4500 / 12000) x 100 = 37.5.
