Validate

Solution:

Concept:

Convert the given percentage shares into actual turnovers and then compare the two required turnovers directly.

Explanation:

Let the total turnover figure be taken as

40

million dollars.

Brazil’s combined turnover from Electrical goods and Handicrafts is

25\%

of the total turnover.

So its value is:

\frac{25}{100}\times 40 = 10

million dollars.

Now, for Garments, Brazil accounts for

30\%

of the total turnover.

Brazil’s Garments turnover is:

\frac{30}{100}\times 40 = 12

million dollars.

Therefore, Rest of America’s Garments turnover is:

40 - 12 = 28

million dollars.

Now compare the two turnovers:

\frac{\text{Brazil (Electrical + Handicrafts)}}{\text{Rest of America (Garments)}} = \frac{10}{28}

= 0.3571

As a percentage, this is:

0.3571 \times 100 = 35.71\% \approx 36\%

Answer:

Option B:

36
