Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

revenue for Trent's cafe in 2016 = $139900

revenue for Trent's cafe in 2017 = $162700

To calculate for the number of times the revenue for Trent's cafe in 2017 is greater than that for 2016, we will have to find the ratio of the revenue for Trent's cafe in 2017 to that in 2016. The ratio is gotten by dividing revenue in 2017 by revenue in 2016.

$\frac{revenue in 2017}{revenue in 2016}=\frac{162700}{139,900}$

revenue in 2017 : revenue in 2016 = 1.16: 1

From the above ratio, we can say the revenue for Trent's cafe in 2017 is 1.16 times as large as that for 2016
