What is the percentage decrease in the production of wheat in 2019 compared to 2018? (correct to two decimal places)
Check Solution
Ans: B
Explanation: To calculate the percentage decrease, we use the formula: ((Original Value – New Value) / Original Value) * 100.
In this case, the original value is the wheat production in 2018 (4500 tonnes) and the new value is the wheat production in 2019 (3300 tonnes).
Percentage decrease = ((4500 – 3300) / 4500) * 100 = (1200 / 4500) * 100 = 0.26666… * 100 = 26.67%.
