A first bar graph shows the total sales amount of three different companies in three different years, and a second bar graph shows the combined target sales amount of these three companies in these three years. Question: If the total target sales amount of all companies together in 2018 is 20% more than that in 2016, and the sales amount of companies X and Y in 2018 increases by 50% and 20% respectively compared to 2016, then by what percent must the sales amount of company Z increase from 2016 to 2018 to meet the total target sales amount of all companies together in 2018?
- 70%
- 80%
- 75%
- 50%
Correct answer: 75%
Solution
The total target in 2018 is 20% above 2016, so the combined sales must rise by that amount. Since X and Y already rise by 50% and 20%, the remaining increase needed from Z works out to 75% to satisfy the total target.
