    - Sale of Helmet C in 2002 = 68 thousand

     Formula Used:

    Difference in Sales=6854=14 thousand\text{Difference in Sales} =68 - 54 = 14 \text{ thousand}​​

    2. Calculate the percentage increase:
    Percentage Increase=1454×100\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{14}{54} \times 100​​​​
    Calculate the percentage:
    Percentage Increase=1454×10025.93%\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{14}{54} \times 100 \approx 25.93\% ​​
