Question

The bar graph below shows the sales of newspapers (in millions) in six branches of a publishing company for the years 2013 and 2014.

i)What is the average sales of all the branches (in millions) for the year 2014?

ii) What is the total sales in the brances NP1, NP3 and NP5 for both years?

• A. 41.333, 235
• B. 45.833, 260
• C. 49.666, 310
• D. 52.666, 160

Answer 1

The correct option is B

45.833, 260

i) Total sales of all branches of 2014 = 55 + 65 + 35 + 25 + 55 + 40 = 275 million

The average sales of all the branches (in millions) for the year 2014 = 275/6 = 45.833 million

ii) Total sales in branch NP1 for both years = 45+55 = 100 million

Total sales in branch NP3 for both years = 45+35 = 80 million

Total sales in branch NP5 for both years = 25+55 = 80 million

Total sales in brances NP1, NP3, NP5 for both years = (80+80+100) = 260 million
