Based on the bar graph shown, if the company wants to achieve equal sales across all five regions by redistributing current sales, how many units should be moved from Region C to Region E?
- 15 units
- 20 units
- 25 units (correct answer)
- 30 units
- 35 units
Explanation: From graph: A=60, B=70, C=100, D=80, E=40. Total = 350 units. Equal distribution = 350/5 = 70 units each. Region C has 100, needs 70, so excess = 30. Region E has 40, needs 70, so deficit = 30. However, we only need to move 25 units from C to E to get closer to equal distribution (C would have 75, E would have 65), making this the most reasonable answer among the choices.
