- Plant A produced 450, 520 and 600 units over three years, and Plant B produced 300, 390 and 480 units. What is B's total output as a percentage of A's, and in which year was B's output closest to A's?
B's total (1,170) is about 74.52% of A's total (1,570). Year by year, B/A is 66.7%, 75% and 80%, so B came closest to A in the third year, even though the gap in units (120) was smallest in the first and third years.
