In which of the following years was the number of refrigerators sold approximately 25% of the number of cell phones sold?
Option A:
In 2011, number of Refrigerators sold =60
number of Cell phones sold = 336
$$\Rightarrow$$ number of refrigerators sold as a percentage of number of cell phones sold = $$\frac{60}{336}\times 100 = 17.85$$
Option B:
In 2012, number of Refrigerators sold = 79
number of Cell phones sold = 404
$$\Rightarrow$$ number of refrigerators sold as a percentage of number of cell phones sold = $$\frac{79}{404}\times 100$$ = 19.5
Option C:
In 2013,number of Refrigerators sold = 93
number of Cell phones sold = 411
$$\Rightarrow$$ number of refrigerators sold as a percentage of number of cell phones sold = $$\frac{93}{411}\times 100$$ = 22.6
Option D:
In 2014, number of Refrigerators sold = 112
number of Cell phones sold = 442
$$\Rightarrow$$ number of refrigerators sold as a percentage of number of cell phones sold = $$\frac{112}{442}\times 100$$ = 25.33
Hence Option D is the correct answer.
