Re: The following questions refer to the information attached: [#permalink]
1. Were more Divanasso sofas sold in France in 2006 than in 2001?

(1) Global sales of Divanasso sofas rose by at least $10 million dollars each year from 2002 to 2006.
(2) Japanese and South Korean sales of Divanasso sofas were less than $10 million in 2001.

Statement 1)
France 2001 = 35% 2001
France 2006 > 20% (2001 + 50)
France 2006 > 20% 2001 +10
for Q stem to be true...
10 > 15% 2001
=> 2001 < 200/3

statement 2)
J&K 2001 = 30% 2001 < 10
=> 2001 < 100/3

Therefore C

2. Which country recorded a larger absolute increase in the number of Divanasso sofas sold from 2005 to 2006, France or the United States?

(1) In each year from 2001 to 2006, more Divanasso sofas were sold in the United States than in Canada.
(2) In 2006, U.S. unit sales of Divanasso sofas accounted for 30% of world unit sales of Divanasso sofas.

Statement 1) - no info
Statemtn 2) - no info about 2005

Therefore E

3. Sales of Divanasso sofas worldwide rose from 30,000,000 units in 2001 to 80,000,000 units in 2006. The rise in sales in Australia accounted for approximately what percent of this increase?

(A) 5 (C) 6 (D) 8 (E) 9 (F) 11

Increase in sales = 80-30 =50
Australia went from 1% of 30 to 7% of 80
= .3 to 5.6
% inc contributed by Australia = 5.3/50

So E; but this ans could also be D depending on the exact values on the graph; as far as I understand GMAT does not test approximation skills such as these. OA/OE?
