Direction: The bar diagram below shows the production of potatoes (in quintals) from the year 2000 to 2006. Study the diagram and answer the following questions.
-
During this period, the highest rate of decline in production is:
-
- 24.4%
- 28.22%
- 33.64%
- 35.32%
Correct Option: C
According to given bar graph , we have
The production of potatoes in 2004 = 1240
The production of potatoes in 2003 = 1640
Change in production = The production of potatoes in 2003 - The production of potatoes in 2004 = 1640 - 1240 = 400
| Percent rate of decline in year 2004 = | × 100 | The production of potatoes in 2003 |
| Percent rate of decline in year 2004 = | × 100 | 1640 |
The production of potatoes in 2002 = 720
The production of potatoes in 2001 = 1085
Change in production = The production of potatoes in 2001 - The production of potatoes in 2002 = 1085 - 720 = 365
| Percent rate of decline in year 2002 = | × 100 | The production of potatoes in 2001 |
| Percent rate of decline in year 2002 = | × 100 = 33.64% | 1085 |
