Given Information:
Total units sold in 2017: 840,000
The histogram shows the percentage of total sales for different models in 2017.
In 2018: The number of Charish models sold increased by 15% over 2017.
Question:
We need to calculate the approximate percentage of the number of Rider models sold
in 2018.
Solution Steps:
Determine the number of Charish models sold in 2017:
From the histogram, let's assume the percentage of Charish model sales in 2017
(from visual estimation, since exact values aren't clear).
For example, if Charish had, say, 10% of sales in 2017:
Charish units sold in 2017
=
10
100
×
840
,
000
=
84
,
000
Charish units sold in 2017=
100
10
×840,000=84,000
Calculate the increase in Charish sales in 2018:
Assuming only Charish sales changed, the total units sold in 2018 would be:
840

840,000−84,000+96,600=852,600
Determine the percentage of Rider models sold in 2018:
If the histogram shows Rider's sales as, say, 7.8% in 2017 and assuming the
percentage didn’t change, the percentage in 2018 would still be approximately 7.8%.
Final Answer:
Based on these assumptions, the approximate percentage of Rider models sold in 2018
would be 7.8%.
(Note: The histogram’s exact values could affect the answer slightly, but this
approach provides an estimate.)
