2. 2005
3. 2006
4. 2007

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2007

 

Formula used:

Percentage of Pepsi sold = (Number of Pepsi/Total number of drinks) × 100

Calculation:

Percentage of Pepsi sold in 2004 = (96/525) × 100 = 18.28%

Percentage of Pepsi sold in 2005 = (105/510) × 100 = 20.58%

Percentage of Pepsi sold in 2006 = (90/465) × 100 = 19.35%

Percentage of Pepsi sold in 2007 = (105/495) × 100 = 21.21%

∴ The percentage of Pepsi sold to the total number of drinks sold was maximum in the 2007.
