Both 3 got nullify with each other like 245÷3 /280÷3 = 245÷3 * 3÷280 = hence 245÷280 * 100, we get 87.5%.

Question is Avg of 2001 % of Avg 2000 %. The answer however is other way round.
avg of 2001 (93.3) of avg of 2000 ( 81.6)
which would be 113.97
avg of 2001 (93.3) of avg of 2000 ( 81.6)
which would be 113.97
