Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Given Demand:
A = 3000
B = 600
C = 2500
D = 1200
E = 3300
Step 1: Two highest demanded colleges
Highest demands are:
E = 3300
A = 3000
Total = 3300 + 3000 = 6300
Step 2: Two lowest demanded colleges
Lowest demands are:
B = 600
D = 1200
Total = 600 + 1200 = 1800
Step 3: Percent higher
[
\frac{6300 - 1800}{1800} \times 100
]
[
= \frac{4500}{1800} \times 100 = 250%
]
