Given above is a chart that shows how the production of Cornwell Corporation is spread across the world. The company has manufacturing facilities in seven countries producing scarves. And given below is the percentage of production (in terms of units) that takes place in each country.

Cornwell decides to close its Russian Operations. As a result of this, production in Mexico is increased by 20% from current levels of production in the country. What percentage of Cornwell's production takes place in Brazil after these changes?

(A) 12.00%
(B) 13.65%
(C) 14.28%
(D) 16.24%

For the sake of simplicity consider that the total production is 100.
The values are:
India = 20
China = 18
Brazil = 12
Russia = 17
SA = 21
Mexico = 5
Indonesia = 7

We have to remove Russia and increase Mexico (5 increased by by 20% is 6)

New values are:
India = 20
China = 18
Brazil = 12
SA = 21
Mexico = 6
Indonesia = 7

Total for the new values = 84
[spoiler]Brazil's % = (12/84)*100 = 14.28%[/spoiler]

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
