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%

Which is one factor that contributed to the rise of Sikhism?
Mars2501 [29]
The most likely answer is B.. The reason I say this is because you can already rule out A and D. because Sikhism is a monotheistic religion, not a polytheistic religion, meaning they believe in only One God. And Sikhism was actually first made to oppose and differ from Hinduism and Islam.

2) Contextualization: What does "Just emerging from a state of barbarism, the Gov't of the islands is as
Zina [86]

Answer:

The sentence shows that President Tyler saw Hawaiians and Hawaii as a place of complete disorganization, weak and lacking in civility, presenting a state of complete barbarism as he said.

Explanation:

The sentence shown in the question above was used by President Tyler as a way to justify Hawaii's annexation to American territory. To justify this desire, he promotes a prejudiced view of Hawaii and Hawaiians, comparing them with barbarians and presenting the territory as a place of weak and disorganized government.

However, the main reason behind the desire to annex Hawaii to the USA, was to have access to the port that allowed passage to China, India and Asia and to have other territorial advantages.
