Answer:

About 714 tractors were sold in 2008

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase of 106% means:

106% in decimal is $\frac{106}{100}=1.06$

Thus the increase is 1.06 of 347 which is 1.06*347=367.82

Total would be 347 + the increase = 347 + 367.82 = 714.82

Fractional tractors isn't possible so we round down, so about 714 tractors were sold in 2008
