Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : C

Given:

Bonus paid 

2008 = 3, 2009 = 2.52, 2010 = 3.84, 2011 = 3.68, 2012 = 3.96

Salary paid 

2008 = 288, 2009 = 342, 2010 = 324, 2011 = 336, 2012 = 420

Formula used:

Percentage = (Part value/Original value) × 100

Calculation:

Total bonus Paid

⇒ 3 + 2.52 + 3.84 + 3.68 + 3.96

⇒ 17

Total Salary Paid

⇒ 288 + 342 + 324 + 336 + 420

⇒ 1710

Approximate percentage

⇒ (17/1710) × 100

⇒ 0.99 ≈ 1

∴ The approximate% is 1.
