D Correct answer
Explanation

Region X = 210, Region W = 85. Percent greater = ((210 - 85) / 85) * 100 = (125 / 85) * 100 = 1.4705 * 100 = 147%.

AI explanation

Using the percentage difference formula, ((Value X - Value W) / Value W) * 100, we substitute the sales figures from the table. This gives ((210 - 85) / 85) * 100, which simplifies to (125 / 85) * 100. Calculating this results in approximately 147.05%, so the sales in Region X are 147% greater.
