Given:

Sales of E in 2020 = 65 lakh packs

Sales of C in 2019 = 45 lakh packs

Formula used:

Percentage increase = \(\dfrac{(New Value - Old Value)}{Old Value} \times 100 \)

Calculations:

Percentage increase in sales = \(\dfrac{(65 - 45)}{45} \times 100 \)

Percentage increase = \(\dfrac{20}{45} \times 100 = \dfrac{2000}{45} \approx 44.44\% \)

∴ The sales of E in 2020 were approximately 44.44% more than the sales of C in 2019.
