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%

How did opium trade in china affect British merchants?​
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Opium trade, in Chinese history, the traffic that developed in the 18th and 19th centuries in which Western countries, mostly Great Britain, exported opium grown in India and sold it to China. The British used the profits from the sale of opium to purchase such Chinese luxury goods as porcelain, silk, and tea, which were in great demand in the West, while addiction to opium became widespread in China, leading to social and economic problems there.

By 1773 the British had discovered the trade, and that year they became the leading suppliers of the Chinese market.The country traders sold the opium to smugglers along the Chinese coast. The gold and silver the traders received from those sales were then turned over to the East India Company.In the Treaty of Nanjing that ended the First Opium War in 1842, Britain made China pay a huge indemnity (payment for losses in the war). Britain also gained Hong Kong; The Treaty of Nanjing is the treaty which marked the end of the First Opium War and would have a lasting effect on East -West relations.
