Answer 1

Answer:

Their percent increase in car sales is 200%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last month, jones car lot sold $150,000.00 worth of cars.

This month their car sales reached $450,000.00.

Now, to find the percent increase in car sales.

Last month car sold = $150,000.00.

This month sale of car = $450,000.00.

So, to get the amount of increase we subtract:

$450000-150000$

= $300,000.00$

Now, to get the percent of increase:

$\frac{300,000}{150,000} \times 100$

$=2\times 100$

$=200\%.$

Therefore, their percent increase in car sales is 200%.
