Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
First, calculate the total number of EVs sold in May using the cumulative percentage: 25% of 2400 = 600.
Next, find the number of White EVs sold in May by subtracting Red EVs from the total: 600 - 360 = 240.
Then, determine the Red EVs sold specifically in September by subtracting the cumulative August total from the September total: 1232 - 1032 = 200.
Finally, calculate the percentage increase: ((240 - 200) / 200) * 100 = 20%.
