help please what's the correct answer

Answer 1

If the sales had dropped 23% then music store had sold 551 units in the second quarter.

Given that a music store had sold 715 units in first quarter and sales had dropped by 23%.

We are required to determine the sales in the second quarter.

Percentage is the number or ratio expressed in terms of 100. It is expressed as %.

Sales in first quarter=715 units

Decrease in sales=23%

In units ,decrease=715*23%

=715*23/100

=164.45

Sales of second  quarter=715-164.45

=550.55

After rounding we will get 551.

Hence if the music store sold 715 units in first quarter then the units sold by music store in second quarter 551 units.
