Car assembled in 2006: 139,000
Car assembled in 2010: 215,000

Percent change

New - Old \(= 215,000-139,000=76,000\)

\(= \frac{76,000}{139,000} *100 = 54.67\)% \(= 55\)%

Answer: B

For question A you can actually find the answer by approximation, to save some time.

The number of Y cars in 2006 is approximately 140. To reach 215 in 2010, the production increased by 75 cars. That's a little more than 50% of what was produced in 2006 (50% of 140 is 70) so the best answer must be B.

We need to find the model for which the number of cars manufactured in 2008 vs. 2007 is the highest. We need to compute the number of cars, not percentage, so it is a straight forward subtraction.

Z: 896 - 779 = 117
Y: 178 - 152 = 26
X: 115 - 93 = 22

When you compute for all models, we figure out, the highest is for model Z.

Hope this helps.
