The table given below shows the average number of articles (A, B and C) sold by Pesto company in three different months. It also shows the percentage of article A sold by Pesto company out of the total number of articles sold in these months. Table also reflects the total number of article C sold in these months. Read the table carefully and answer the following questions.

Months	Average number of articles sold	Percentage of article A sold	Total number of articles C sold
April	100	40%	100
May	120	30%	70
June	72	25%	80

Number of articles C sold in April and June together are what percentage (approx.) of the number of articles A sold in May.

To find the required percentage, we first need to determine the total number of articles sold in the relevant months, and then find the individual quantities of articles A and C sold in those months.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of articles sold in each month
The table gives the average number of articles (A, B, and C) sold in three different months. Since there are 3 types of articles (A, B, and C), the total number of articles sold in any month is given by:
$\text{Total number of articles sold}=\text{Average number of articles sold}\times 3$

Using this relation, we find the total articles sold for each month:
• For April:
$\text{Total sold}=100\times 3=300$
• For May:
$\text{Total sold}=120\times 3=360$
• For June:
$\text{Total sold}=72\times 3=216$

Step 2: Find the number of articles C sold in April and June together
From the table, the total number of articles C sold is given directly:
• Number of articles C sold in April = 100
• Number of articles C sold in June = 80
Thus, the total number of articles C sold in April and June together is:
$100+80=180$

Step 3: Find the number of articles A sold in May
The table states that the percentage of article A sold in May is 30% of the total number of articles sold in May.
Using the total sold in May (360) from Step 1:
$\text{Number of articles A sold in May}=30\%\text{of}360$
$=\frac{30}{100}\times 360=108$

Step 4: Calculate the required percentage
We need to find what percentage the number of articles C sold in April and June together (180) is of the number of articles A sold in May (108):
$\text{Percentage}=\left(\frac{180}{108}\right)\times 100$
Simplifying the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 36:
$\frac{180}{108}=\frac{5}{3}$
$\text{Percentage}=\frac{5}{3}\times 100\approx 1.6667\times 100\approx 167\%$

Therefore, the number of articles C sold in April and June together is approximately 167% of the number of articles A sold in May.
