The percent increase in the gross profit was the maximum

Direction: Study the following table and answer the questions based on it :

The percent increase in the gross profit was the maximum in which year as compared to the previous one?

According to given table, we have

Percentage increase in the year 1992 =	(149.9 - 134.3)	×100
	134.3

Percentage increase in the year 1992 =	15.6 × 100	= 11.6%
	134.3

Percentage increase in the year 1993 =	(160.5 - 149.5)	×100
	149.9

Percentage increase in the year 1993 =	10.6 × 100	= 7%
	149.5

Percentage increase in the year 1994 =	(203.3 - 160.5)	×100
	160.5

Percentage increase in the year 1994 =	42.8 × 100	= 26.6%
	160.5

Note : It is not necessary to calculate percentage increase for every year. It can be inferred easily from the data given in the table.
