Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Calculate total demand: 3000 + 600 + 2500 + 1200 + 3300 = 10600. Average demand: 10600 / 5 = 2120. Calculate total intake: 1500 + 1800 + 1000 + 2700 + 2200 = 9200. Average intake: 9200 / 5 = 1840. Percentage difference: ((2120 - 1840) / 1840) * 100 ≈ 15.22%.
