For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I can't work out what your figures are but as a first step i'd divide sales value by sales volume and then see if any figure seems anomalous.
If that throws up nothing I'd look at each sales value figure as a proportion of GDP and see if any figure looks odd.
Then if necessary I'd work out the sales value per head of poulation.

You dont need help in sales volume
but in spotting duff values
the five countries have paired data
four pairs will be consistent
such as
one billion - - - two billion
five billion - - - ten billion
four billion - - - eight billion
half a billion - -- fifty billion
clearly the fourth one in th set is NOT consistent
so you have to identify the inconsistent pair and suggest why - arithmetic error, cultural or whatever
