Interesting and Simple questions. All options have answer A
Will try to answer so that we don't have to actually solve.
1. Which year saw the greatest percent change in sales from the previous year?
A. 2004 to 2005
B. 2006 to 2007
C. 2007 to 2008
It was clearly A because it shows the greatest change. Had the options had 2008 to 2009, then also we would have gone by the same logic. We would have considered that in 2008-09, the previous was more giving a high denominator.
Question 2 : We can see that 4 values are well above $70M, hence the avg has to be more than $70M
Question 3: The sales in ascending order are 55,60,60,85, 87,95,95, Counting the fourth gives us 85 for 2006
