A problem like this would require calculating the dollar amount value from the percentage for multiple data values, which is time-consuming.
What would be the most efficient way to approach such questions? Any shortcuts or resources I could refer would be super helpful!
The question says “decrease”. That in itself rules out Services.
Now, consider that we want the greatest decrease. To me, we should be able to infer from the graph that the likely suspects are retail and manufacturing.
Then you have less work to do.
Yes, I was able to rule out ‘Real Estate’ and ‘Services’
Did you infer this because of the larger difference between 31 and 20 (Manufacturing) as compared to 8 and 6 (Wholesale)? Is this the general rule I can always apply to these type of questions?
