Option 4: 18.8%
Correct Answer: 11.2%
Solution :
From the table, in the year 2015, the number of employees in Company C is 222 and in Company E is 250.
$\therefore\text{Percentage Difference}$
$= \left(\frac{\text{Value in E} - \text{Value in C}}{\text{Value in E}}\right) \times 100= \left(\frac{250 - 222}{250}\right) \times 100= \left(\frac{28}{250}\right) \times 100=11.2\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 11.2%.
