Pie Chart

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the pie chart, the total number of goods manufactured by all four companies combined is 200. The percentage breakdown of total goods manufactured by each company is as follows:
• Company A = 35%
• Company B = 15%
• Company C = 20%
• Company D = 30%

1. Calculate total goods manufactured by Companies B, C, and D:

For Company B:

Total goods manufactured by B=15%×200=15100×200=30

For Company C:

Total goods manufactured by C=20%×200=20100×200=40

For Company D:

Total goods manufactured by D=30%×200=30100×200=60

2. Calculate the number of goods sold by Companies B and C:

From the provided table, Company B sold 80% of its manufactured goods and Company C sold 75% of its manufactured goods.

For Company B:

Goods sold by B=80%×30=80100×30=24

For Company C:

Goods sold by C=75%×40=75100×40=30

3. Calculate the average number of goods sold by B and C:

Average sold by B and C=24+302=542=27

4. Calculate the number of unsold goods of D:

Out of the total 60 goods manufactured by Company D, 47 goods are sold (corresponding to the given sold percentage 4X%), leaving 13 unsold goods.

Unsold goods of D=60-47=13

5. Find the required difference:

Now, calculate the difference between the average number of goods sold by B & C and the number of unsold goods of D:

Difference=27-13=14

Thus, the required difference is 14.
