Given:
Menswear sales for each year
2001= 22 mill <span>
2002= 30 mill
2003= 35 mill
2004= 39 mill </span>
<span>Find:
Decrease in menswear sales in 2005 compared to 2001.</span>
Solution:
The most prior year, which
is 2004 in this case, is the year where the decrease would be measured against.
The percentage decrease is the difference between 2004 and 2001 sales, divided
by the sales in 2004, if sales decrease is the same level as in the year 2001:
Decrease in menswear sales
in 2005 compared to 2001 = (39 mill - 22 mill) / 39 mill
= 17 mill / 39 mill <span>
= 0.435897 </span>
= 0.435897 * 100%
= 43.59%<span>
</span>
Therefore, menswear sales would
have to decrease 43.59% in 2005 to be approximately the same as the Menswear
sales in 2001.
