B21
C23
D19
Correct answer: (A) 22 — The answer is about 22 percent.
Explanation
★The answer is about 22 percent.
★Movie D in Kolkata sold 10500 tickets.
★Movie B in Chandigarh sold 13500 tickets.
★The difference is 13500 minus 10500, which is 3000.
★The percentage is 3000 divided by 13500, times 100.
★That is about 22.22 percent, or 22 percent.
