Let the revenue from cars in 1996 be \(c\) and revenue from trucks in 1996 be \(t\).
Total revenue in 1997 would be \(0.89c+1.07t\).
Also as total revenue in 1997 were up 1 percent from 1996, then total revenue in 1997 would be \(1.01(c+t)\).
Equate above two:
\(0.89c+1.07t=1.01(c+t)\)
\(\frac{c}{t}=\frac{1}{2}\).

This is a weighted average question. Average of -11% and +7% is +1%.
Using w1/w2 = (A2 - Aavg)/(Aavg - A1),
we get w1/w2 = (7 - 1)/(1- (-11)) = 6/12
Revenue from Car:Revenue from Trucks = 1:2
