Correct Solution: Option C
Step-by-step Solution:
Calculation of Percentage Increase (2005-2010)
We calculate the percentage increase for each product using the formula: ((Sales 2010 - Sales 2005) / Sales 2005) * 100.
Product A:((48.17 - 20.15) / 20.15) * 100 ≈ 139.06%
Product B:((37.16 - 5.93) / 5.93) * 100 ≈ 526.64%
Product C:((29.14 - 14.97) / 14.97) * 100 ≈ 94.66%
Product D:((12.21 - 7.88) / 7.88) * 100 ≈ 55.00%
Product E:((10.19 - 5.01) / 5.01) * 100 ≈ 103.39%
Conclusion
Comparing the calculated percentages, the lowest value is approximately 55%, which corresponds to Product D.
Final Answer: The minimum rate of increase was for Product D.
