Correct Answer: 61000


Solution : As per the given graph,
The sales for the number of bikes for Hero company in February (in hundreds) = 655
The sales for the number of bikes for Hero company in March (in hundreds) = 540
Percentage decrease = $\frac{(655 - 540)} { 655}$ × 100 = 17.56%
The sales for the number of bikes for Hero company in June (in hundreds) = 740
The sales for the number of bikes for Hero company in July (in hundreds) = $\frac{(100 - 17.56) }{ 100 }$ × 740 = 610.06 $\approx$ 610
The sales for the number of bikes for Hero company in July is 61000.
