Both Company A and Company B
Neither Company A nor Company B
Company A
Company B

Answer 1

Answer:

The company A has the largest percent of increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales of two companies A and B are given as

$S(A) = 260(1.9)^{x}$ ......... (1) and  

$S(B) = 275(0.89)^{x}$ ......... (2)

Now, for x = 0 to x = 1, the sale value of company A will be given by equation (1) as 260 and 260 × 1.9 = 494.

So, the percentage of increase is $[\frac{494 - 260}{260}] \times 100 \% = 90\%$

Again, for x = 0 to x = 1, the sale value of company B will be given by equation (2) as 275 and 275 × 0.89 = 244.75.

So, the percentage of decrease is $[ \frac{275 - 244.75}{275}] \times 100 \% = 11\%$

Therefore, the company A has the largest percent of increase. (Answer)
