The production in 2017 was approximately what percent of the average production over the given years?

Answer: B

First, find the average production.

Total production = 120 + 127 + 125 + 140 + 145 = 657 million tonnes.

Average production = 657 / 5 = 131.4 million tonnes.

Production in 2017 = 127 million tonnes.

Required percentage = \(\frac{127}{131.4} \times 100 \approx 96.65\)%, which is approximately 96%.
