Question

The following chart shows a store’s coat sales for two years.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sales of trench coats increased 8.3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

2006:

top coats is 297,

parkas is 210,

jackets is 213,

raincoats is 137,

trench coats is 103

Total: $297+210+213+137+103=960$

2007:

topcoats is 223,

parkas is 210,

jackets is 285,

raincoats is 259,

trench coats is 127

Total: $223+210+285+259+127=1,104$

Percent increase in total sales:

$\dfrac{1,104-960}{960}\cdot 100\%=15\%$

Percent increase in sales of trench coats:

$\dfrac{127-103}{103}\cdot 100\%\approx 23.3\%$

Since $23.3\%-15\%=8.3\%,$ sales of trench coats increased 8.3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.
