Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
First, calculate the total books sold by each shop:
Shop A: 3500 + 2000 = 5500
Shop B: 3900 + 5200 = 9100
Shop C: 4400 + 5500 = 9900
Shop D: 5500 + 6600 = 12100
The highest-selling shop is D with 12100 books, and the lowest-selling shop is A with 5500 books.
Percentage increase = ((12100 - 5500) / 5500) * 100 = (6600 / 5500) * 100 = 120%
