Calculation Steps




  1. Extract the 2010 Sales Data:

    From the bar chart, we find the sales figures (in lakh packs) for 2010:



    • Product A: 48.17

    • Product B: 37.16




  2. Calculate the Percentage Increase:

    The formula for how much percent A is more than B is ((A - B) / B) * 100.


    ((48.17 - 37.16) / 37.16) * 100

    = (11.01 / 37.16) * 100

    ≈ 29.63%


  3. Round to the Nearest Integer:

    Rounding the result to the nearest integer gives us:


    30%





Final Answer: Based on the data in the chart, the sales of Product A in 2010 were approximately 30% more than the sales of Product B in 2010.
