The table below presents the organic horticulture harvest (in metric tonnes) across four agricultural zones in a state for the years 2022 to 2025:

Agricultural Zone2022202320242025
Zone A320360400480
Zone B450500550620
Zone C280310350420
Zone D550630700780

Based on the table, what is the percentage share of Zone B in the total horticulture harvest across all four agricultural zones combined in the year 2024?

Answer: 27.5 %

Answer

The percentage share of Zone B in the total horticulture harvest across all four zones combined in 2024 is 27.5%27.5\%.
The total harvest across all four zones in 2024 is 400+550+350+700=2000400 + 550 + 350 + 700 = 2000 metric tonnes. Zone B contributed 550550 metric tonnes in 2024. Dividing 550550 by 20002000 and multiplying by 100100 yields exactly 27.5%27.5\%.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate total harvest for all zones in 2024
Total harvest in 2024 = 400+550+350+700=2000400 + 550 + 350 + 700 = 2000 metric tonnes
To find the baseline total harvest across all zones for the target year.
2
Locate the specific harvest for Zone B in 2024
Zone B harvest in 2024 = 550550 metric tonnes
To isolate the target numerator specified in the question.
3
Compute the percentage share
Percentage share = (5502000)×100=27.5%\left( \frac{550}{2000} \right) \times 100 = 27.5\%
Dividing the specific zone harvest by the total harvest yields the fractional share, which is converted to percentage by multiplying by 100.
