Correct Answer: 73.17%


Solution : From the given graph,
The total sales of branch B6 for both the years 2009 and 2010 = 70 + 80 = 150 thousands
The total sales of branch B3 for both the years 2009 and 2010 = 95 + 110 = 205 thousands
It is given that the total sales of branch B6 for both years are $x$ percent equal to the total sales of branch B3 for both years.
Such that,
205 × $\frac{x}{100}$ = 150
$\therefore x$ = 73.17%
Hence, the correct answer is 73.17%.
