Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the total buildings constructed across all towns in 2016 by summing the values: 3000 + 2500 + 2960 + 3448 + 2040 + 2272 = 16,220.
Next, sum the buildings for 2018: 3220 + 2640 + 3090 + 3600 + 2200 + 2460 = 17,210.
Finally, divide the 2016 total by the 2018 total and multiply by 100 to get approximately 94%.
