Correct answer: E — 31.5%

  • Total for Gloves = 440 + 570 + 890 + 920 = 2820.
  • Total for all products = 8950.
  • Percentage = 2820 ÷ 8950 × 100 = 31.5%.
  • Why the other options are wrong:
  • A (96.2%): This divides by the best-selling product's total instead of the grand total.
  • B (126.0%): This divides by the average product total instead of the grand total.
  • C (81.5%): This divides by the first half-year total only.
  • D (25.0%): This assumes each product sells an equal share.

A share of a total is part ÷ whole × 100; make sure the whole is the total of everything, not another part.
