Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula Used:
Percentage Difference = [(Total Production (2020-21) - Total Production (2019-20)) / Total Production (2019-20)] × 100
Calculation:
Total production of rice (2019-20) = 400
Total production of rice (2020-21) = 440
Percentage Difference = [(440 - 400) / 400] × 100
⇒ Percentage Difference = [40/400] × 100
⇒ Percentage Difference = 10%
The percentage difference in the total production of food grains between 2019-20 and 2020-21 is 10%.
