The earnings of the company in 1996-97 were approximately what percent of the average earning over the period under review?

Correct option is D

Solution:

Given:

- Earnings in 1996-97 = 4320

- Average Earnings = 3480

To calculate the percentage, we use the formula:

Percentage = (Earnings in 1996-97 / Average Earnings) × 100

Substitute the values:

Percentage = (4320 / 3480) × 100

Perform the calculation:

Percentage = 1.241 × 100 = 124.1%

Final Answer:

The earnings in 1996-97 were approximately 124.1% of the average earnings.
