Question

Suppose that in Year 1 daily sales at Dave's Deli daily totaled $1,000, and daily sales at Bertha's Burgers totaled $1,500. In Year 2, Dave's daily sales increased to $1,300, and Bertha's daily sales increased to $1,800. The percentage change in sales for Dave was

Answer 1

Answer:

30%

Explanation:

Given that,

In year 1:

Dave's Deli sales = $1,000

Bertha's Burgers sales = $1,500

In year 2:

Dave's Deli sales = $1,300

Bertha's Burgers sales = $1,800

Therefore,

percentage change in sales for Dave:

= [(Change in sales) ÷ sales in year 1] × 100

= [($1,300 - $1,000) ÷ $1,000] × 100

= ($300  ÷ $1,000) × 100

= 0.3 × 100

= 30%

Therefore, the Dave's sales increases by 30%.
