Answer: (3)

Solution: (3)

Number of magazines sold in cities G and R in 2017

$=96900 \times(13+8) \%$ $=96900 \times \frac{21}{100}$ $=20349$

Number of magazines sold in cities $G$ and $T$ in 2016

$=87600 \times(13+8) \%$ $=\frac{87600 \times 21}{100}$ $=18396$

Required percentage $=\left(\frac{20349}{18396}\right) \times 100 \approx \frac{2035000}{18400}$

$=110.6 \%=111 \%$
