2022
- D
2024
Answer & solution
Answer: Option A
Work out the profit and then express it as a percentage of that year's expenditure.
2021: profit = 80 − 64 = 16, and 16 ÷ 64 = 25%.
2022: profit = 100 − 80 = 20, and 20 ÷ 80 = 25%.
2023: profit = 120 − 90 = 30, and 30 ÷ 90 = 33.33%.
2024: profit = 150 − 120 = 30, and 30 ÷ 120 = 25%.
2025: profit = 180 − 144 = 36, and 36 ÷ 144 = 25%.
Every year except 2023 gives exactly 25%, so 2023 is the highest.
