Question

you sold $2,200 last week in mascara and 3,000 in eyeliner. At the end of this week you sold 1,850 in mascara and 2,600 in eyeliner . What is the total percent growth rate in sales.

Answer 1

Answer:

LOSS IN GROWTH of sales by $750.

So, the growth percentage can not be calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales of Mascara in last week = $2,200

The sales of Eyeliner in last week = $3,000

So, the total sales last week = $2,200 + $3,000 = $5,200

Now, The sales of Mascara in this week = $1,850

The sales of Eyeliner in this  week = $2,600

So, the total sales this week = $1,850 + $2,600 = $4,450

Hence,the total growth in sales =  This week sales - Last week sales

= $4,450  -  $5,200 = -$750

Here, the negative sign indicates the LOSS IN GROWTH of sales by $750.

So, the growth percentage can not be calculated.
