Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To determine the city with maximum percentage growth from 2017 to 2020, calculate the growth for each city using the formula: ((Cars in 2020 - Cars in 2017) / Cars in 2017) × 100. City A: (9500 - 7500) / 7500 ≈ 26.7%. City B: (1500 - 1200) / 1200 = 25%. City C: (10000 - 6000) / 6000 ≈ 66.7%. City D: (7400 - 5000) / 5000 = 48%. Comparing the results, City C has the highest percentage growth.
