\n
Here, you need to calculate the contribution to profits for each year for Team 2 and find the smallest contribution in terms of percentages.
\nIn order for Team 2 to make the smallest percentage contribution you can eliminate some years where the Team 2 bar is smallest than the Team 1 bar. This would mean you only look at Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 since it is clear that the Team 2’s contribution is smaller than Team 1.
\nThese are the calculations that have to be made using (Team 2 value/total) x 100%. Using your mental arithmetic would be helpful here as the values are in multiples of 5
\nANSWER is year 3 has lowest contribution in terms of percentages.
