Answer: Option

Answer should be A.

Yes, the answer can easily determine because it was given there in percentage (8%...).
We only have found out 8% of the total price amount.

Please correct the above answer.

I agree with @Shital.

Because in order to calculate anything so precise such as lowest average unit, we need to have full information about the entire set, which, in this case, do not have.

I think as question 4 we can find the avg unit sales value for each company then we can compare them which one is lowest. Am I right?

Read the question twice because, it is questioning about lowest average unit sale.

Do not understand why it cannot be determined? Price of a single unit can be easily determined and compare.
