Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
1. Total EVs sold in May = 25% of 2400 = 600.
2. Total EVs sold in August = (79% - 61%) of 2400 = 18% of 2400 = 432.
3. Red EVs sold in August = Cumulative Aug (1032) - Cumulative July (816) = 216.
4. White EVs sold in August = Total Aug (432) - Red Aug (216) = 216.
5. Average of Red and White EVs in August = (216 + 216) / 2 = 216.
6. Ratio of May sales to August average = 600 : 216 = 25 : 9.
