For Company B, the production is what percent more than the demand?
Answer: C
Correct answer: 9.09%
“Percent more than the demand” takes the demand as the base, not the production.
For Company B the demand is 5500 and the production 6000, so the excess is 500.
\[\frac{6000 - 5500}{5500} \times 100 = \frac{500}{5500} \times 100 = 9.09\%\]
Dividing by the production instead would give \(\tfrac{500}{6000}\times 100 = 8.33\%\), which is how much less the demand is than the production - a different quantity, and the usual trap in this question type.
