Solution:

Concept:

The percentage of product B in a given year is found by dividing B's production by the total production of all products for that year and multiplying by 100.

Explanation:

Calculate total production for each year and then the percentage of B.

2021: Total = 29 + 45 + 26 + 15 + 32 = 147. B% =

\frac{45}{147} \times 100 \approx 30.6\%

2022: Total = 32 + 52 + 58 + 26 + 35 = 203. B% =

\frac{52}{203} \times 100 \approx 25.6\%

2023: Total = 28 + 54 + 92 + 24 + 39 = 237. B% =

\frac{54}{237} \times 100 \approx 22.8\%

2024: Total = 26 + 58 + 86 + 27 + 34 = 231. B% =

\frac{58}{231} \times 100 \approx 25.1\%

The smallest percentage among these four years is 22.8% in 2023.
