The pie chart shows the distribution of New York market share by volume of different computer companies in 2005.
Number of units sold in 2005 in New York = 1,500
Value of units sold in 2005 in New York = US $1,650,000.
1.
For the year 2005, which company has realised the lowest average unit sales price for a PC ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Although it seems to be Commodore, the answer cannot be determined due to the fact that we are unaware of the break-up of the sales value and volume of companies compromising the other categories.

Here volume and value of "Other" category is shown. But "OTHER" section may consist of computers of different company and different value. So we can't find out value of individual unit of "OTHER" section.

The answer is commodore. Dont know why they have written that the answer can't be determined. Its share can be calculated which is 8% of the total share value.
Similarly no. of units can be calculated which is 34% of 1500. So we can easily calculate the avg value by dividing by no. of units and the answer will be 258.82.

This question is same as (similar) to question no 4 of this pie chart. When we can find the answer of that question then I don't understand why are you saying "we don't know out of 100 how many sold and at what price".

Let's suppose a company has manufactured 100 PCs (say).
We do not know how many out of 100 are sold and at what price.
Therefore, we cannot determine the average unit sales price.

We can find
=(value * per company percentage in value pie chart)/(volume * percentage company in volume chart).
By this we get individual sale for all the companies and we able to compare.
So why answer be undetermined?

We can find the individual values using; value/units = price /unit.

We can find individual unit sale price of company by given values (total units and total values) I don't understand why value is undetermined.
