The number of HCVs sold in 2020 was approximately what percent of the total number of vehicles sold in 2019?

A8% ✓ Correct

B10%

C7%

D9%

Correct answer: (A) 8%

Explanation

The answer is about 8 percent.

HCV sales in 2020 were 162.

The total vehicles sold in 2019 were 144 plus 158 plus 496 plus 420 plus 808, which is 2026.

So the share is 162 divided by 2026, times 100.

That is about 8 percent.

So the HCVs of 2020 are about 8 percent of the 2019 total.

So the answer is about 8 percent.
