Directions (61-65):The line graph given below shows the number of laptops (HP and Dell) sold by Hemant in five days. Read the Line graph given below carefully and answer the following questions.

Total laptops sold on Tuesday is what percentage more/less than that on Monday.

The correct option is 40%.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Step 1: Extract data from the given line graph

By observing the given line graph for the sales of HP and Dell laptops:

1. Monday:

- HP laptops sold (blue line) = 80

- Dell laptops sold (orange line) = 70

Total laptops sold on Monday = 80 + 70 = 150

2. Tuesday:

- HP laptops sold = 100

- Dell laptops sold = 110

Total laptops sold on Tuesday = 100 + 110 = 210

Step 2: Calculate the difference in total sales

Difference between total laptops sold on Tuesday and Monday = 210 - 150 = 60

Step 3: Calculate the percentage increase

To find what percentage more laptops were sold on Tuesday compared to Monday, we use the formula:

$\text{Percentage More}=\left(\frac{\text{Total on Tuesday}-\text{Total on Monday}}{\text{Total on Monday}}\right)\times 100$

Substituting the values into the formula:

$\text{Percentage More}=\left(\frac{60}{150}\right)\times 100=40\text{\%}$

Thus, the total laptops sold on Tuesday is 40% more than that on Monday.
