Question

shoe sells for a certain company were $25.9 billion. sales are expected to increase by about 20% in the next year. find the projected amount of shoe sales next year

Answer 1

Just multiply 25.9 billion times 0.2

Answer 2

For this case we can make the following rule of three:

$ 25.9 billion ----------------> 100%

x <------------------------------- 120%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

$x = (\frac{120}{100}) * (25.9)\\x = 31.08$

Therefore, sales for the next year are expected to be $ 31.08 billion

Answer:

The projected amount of shoe sales next year is:

$ 31.08 billion
