What was the percentage increase in the sale of Helmets C in 2002 as compared to that in 1999?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Identify the sales of Helmet C in 1999 and 2002 from the table.
- Sales in 1999 = 54 (thousands)
- Sales in 2002 = 68 (thousands)

Step 2: Calculate the increase in sales from 1999 to 2002.
Increase = 68 - 54 = 14 (thousands)

Step 3: Calculate the percentage increase using the formula:
Percentage Increase = (Increase / Original value) × 100
= (14 / 54) × 100
= 0.259259 × 100
= 25.9259%

Note: The exact calculation gives approximately 25.93%,
