The figures in the brackets indicate the average cost per ton over six months period.
By how much (measured in thousands of tons) did the import of sheet steel exceed the import of coil steel in the first three months of the year?
Options
a.
11
b.
15
c.
19
Correct answer
d.
23
Explanation
Sheet steel imports = 40 + 37 + 36 thousand tons = 113 TT
Coil steel imports = 30 + 31 + 33 thousand tons = 94 TT
So the difference = 113 - 94 = 19 TT
The question requires you to read the graph in a fine manner.
