The data from the given bar graph showing the sales of books (in thousands) from six branches ( to ) of a publishing company during two consecutive years and is tabulated below:
What is the ratio of the total sales of branch for both years to the total sales of branch for both years?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
From the given data table, let's compute the total sales for the required branches:
