Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

D's 3% share equals 3375 buses, so total sales are 33750.03=112500\frac{3375}{0.03}=112500. C sold 0.07×112500=78750.07\times112500=7875; A sold 0.41×112500=461250.41\times112500=46125, of which model R is 12%, or 5535. The required percentage is 78755535×100≈142.28%\frac{7875}{5535}\times100\approx142.28\%. The base is the sale of model R alone, not A's total sale.
