Accepted Answer

Let's calculate the percentage of units sold by each company relative to the total units manufactured by it:Company A:

Percentage = \frac{30}{42} \times 100 = \frac{5}{7} \times 100 \approx 71.43%

Company B:

Percentage = \frac{32}{45} \times 100 \approx 71.11%

Company C:

Percentage = \frac{26}{36} \times 100 = \frac{13}{18} \times 100 \approx 72.22%

Company D:

Percentage = \frac{36}{51} \times 100 = \frac{12}{17} \times 100 \approx 70.58%

Company E:

Percentage = \frac{40}{54} \times 100 = \frac{20}{27} \times 100 \approx 74.07%

Comparing the percentages, Company E has the highest percentage (

74.07%

).
