Answer 1

Table C

Explanation:

Given

-------------------- Vendor I ----- Vendor II

Accepted ----------322 ---------- 307

Returned ----------16 ---------- 14

Required

Determine the table that shows the percentage of goods returned

From the table, we have:

Number of returned goods is:

`Returned = 16 + 14`

`Returned = 30`

For Vendor A, the percentage is:

`Vendor\ A= 16/30 = 0.533`

For Vendor B, the percentage is:

`Vendor\ B= 14/30 = 0.467`

From the list of given options, only table C satisfies this condition.
