Question

the table below shows the number of scooters sold during a 3 year period, year one 725 scooters, year two 579 scooters, year three 696. in year 4, the store sold 112% of the total number of scooters sold during the previous three years combined. determine the number of scooters sold in year 4

Answer 1

Answer:

2, 240

Step-by-step explanation:

In the table, the values should be

Year 1   725  

Year 2   579

Year 3   696

Since Year 4 sold 112% of the previous 3 years combined, we add 725+579+696=2000. We can find 112% by writing a proportion.

$\frac{112}{100} =\frac{x}{2000}$

We solve through cross multiplication of numerator and denominator of the opposite fraction.

$112(2000)=100(x)\\224000=100x\\2,240=x$
