Explanation: Shirts produced in year 2014 = 3.2 Lakh. Percent of shirts failed the quality test = 2.5% ⇒ Total no of shirts which failed the quality test = 3.2 × 2.5/100 = 8000. Shirts produced in year 2017 = 3.6 Lakh. Percent of shirts failed the quality test = 1.25% ⇒ Total no of shirts which failed the quality test = 3.6 × 1.25/100 = 4500 ⇒ Reduction in shirts which failed the quality test in 2017 as compared to 2014 = 8000 – 4500 = 3500. ∴ Required percentage = 3500/8000 × 100 = 43 3/4%.
