The number of items of type E produced in 2021 is what percent more than the number of items of type C produced in 2021?
A105
B75
C60
D125 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 125
Explanation
Type E is 125 percent more than type C, so the answer is 125.
Type E in 2021 is 18 percent of 62500, which is 11250.
Type C in 2021 is 8 percent of 62500, which is 5000.
So type E exceeds type C by 11250 minus 5000, which is 6250.
This excess is taken as a percentage of type C, which is 5000.
6250 out of 5000 is 125 percent.
So the answer is 125.
