lright, this problem seems to be dealing with sales data using raw numbers and a table. Firstly, the question statement referrers to the proportional increase in "actual" and "projected" sales between period 2 and period 3 but no sales data between any specified periods or related to projected sales is represented.Secondly, there is a table listing the number of "actual" Meals sold in 3 different regions (“Northern”, "Southern", "Central"); each region has sales divided into two "types" of meals ("Hot" & "Cold"). Summarily, we were supposed to determine whether a statement is True or False regarding the proportional increase in actual and projected sales from Period 2 to Period 3. The statement is as follows: 1. The proportional increase from Period 2 to Period 3 was the same for actual to projected sales. To make a correct determination, we'd need the actual figures or data for sales in Period 2 for both actual and projected sales, and as at yet we do not have information on projected sales and only have the actual sales' distribution for one particular period (Period 3) in terms of region and type of meal. Additionally, we do not have the proportion or percent changes from Period 2 to Period 3 for both the actual and projected sales, and therefore cannot determine whether the proportional increase was the same for both.Given the necessary data available to answer this question, the correct answer will be:It's "Not possible to say" whether the proportional increase from period 2 to period 3 for actual sales is the same as for projected sales. So the answer is "Not possible to say".
