The percent of increase in sales from last year to this year is 5%.

Since the current vacuum sales is compared to the previous vacuum sales, the previous vacuum sales will be used as the basis of either increase or decrease of sales in the current year. In this instance, it is increase in sales.

We simply divide 567 by 540 and multiply the quotient with 100% and deduct 100% from the product to get the percent increase.

567 / 540 = 1.05 x 100% = 105% - 100% = 5% percent of increase.

or simply get the difference in sales and divide it by the previous sales and multiply by 100%

567 - 540 = 27 / 540 = 0.05 x 100% = 5%

It could be said that the theme, or central idea, of “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” is the long history of the black race. What ev
labwork [276]

The main idea of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" is the long history of the black race. This theme can be identified when the speaker in the poem mentions that he has a connection or something that links him to some great rivers. He's trying to explain that, like the rivers that have seen many civilizations grow and flourish, he has also grown and flourish with the rivers.

The speaker mentions four rivers:

- The Euphrates

- The Congo

- The Nile

- The Mississippi

All of these rivers reference different civilizations, and the speaker tries to link the last river he mentions - the Mississippi- to the history of slavery.

So, we can definitely see how the history of the black race is the main idea in this poem, written to explain that, like rivers, the black race has existed as long as history goes, and it has seen civilizations thrive and expand just like rivers.

Why was Joseph stain successfull
VMariaS [17]
I hope your talking about joseph stalin...

Beside pure luck, Stalin possessed several qualities that are be indispensable for anyone with the ambition to lead a movement for radical justice.

Firm belief in the supremacy of totalitarianism above democracy and the economy based on private property
Clear understanding of the national cultural code and the Machiavellian principles of state power
Constant learning, combined with critical judgement and superb memory
The “Putin pack”, indispensable for secret operatives: tenacity, attention to details, cynicism and obsession with secrecy. (Many people call that “paranoia”. They don’t realize how important is this “pack” for balancing off the huge personal ego needed for grabbing and retaining power.)
The Soviet poster below shows a Soviet man who seemingly combines the high energy level, ambition, the ability to observe and learn, and the rest of the skill set that ensures success to a true warrior of radical justice. Caption: “Be vigilant!” Rhymed text of the proletarian poet Mayakovsky: “Comrade, don’t indulge yourself in the days of peace / Toss away your affability / Comrades, remember: the class enemy / is operating among us with all he’s got.”
