Official Solution:
The South region had the highest total Q1 sales and the highest percentage increase from Q4.
• South has the highest Q1 sales (200) and the highest percentage increase from Q4 (13%). The statement is True.
The average number of stores across all regions is exactly 10.
• The number of stores across all regions is 10 + 12 + 8 + 9 = 39. Thus, the average is 39/4 = 9.75, which is not exactly 10. The statement is False.
The Q4 2024 sales of the East region were higher than those of the West region.
• To find Q4 sales, divide Q1 sales by (1 + percentage increase).
East: 180/1.11 ≈ 162
West: 170/1.07 ≈ 159
Since 162 > 159, East had higher Q4 sales than West. The statement is True.
Correct answer:
The South region had the highest total Q1 sales and the highest percentage increase from Q4. "True"
The average number of stores across all regions is exactly 10. "False"
The Q4 2024 sales of the East region were higher than those of the West region. "True"

Hi,
how would i know if statement 3 is asking about Q4'24 or Q4'25?
Q4'24 you can calculate but Q4'25 you can't.
I went with Q4'25 and marked "False".
Only thing that may indicate towards Q4'24 is "The Q4 sales of the East region were higher than those of the West region".
I am confused because if saw this question in 2028 and was solving it, i wouldn't be able to bifurcate between Q4'24 and Q4'25 as both of them will come in past.
is it correct or i misunderstood/overthink something altogether?
thanks
