Answer:
it would be decreasing
Step-by-step explanation:
because it is a linear increasing function
for 1 it is going up from 1-6
and 2 it is a function because there isn't any multiples of the x values/ inputs that go to one y value/ output.
As a disclaimer, I can't say I'm completely confident in this answer. Use at own risk.
Formulas:
Year 1: 328,000 (sales) - 117,000 (expense) = 211,000 (profit)
Year 2: 565,000 (sales) - x (expense) = y (profit)
Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000
Math
211,000 (profit y1) + 565,000 (sales y2) = 776,000
776,000 - 113,000 (net profit) = -663,000 (expenses)
Confirm:
Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000 (listed in formulas, just a reminder)
Plug in: 565,000 (y2 sales) - 663,000 (our solution) = -98,000
211,000 (y1 net) + -98,000 (our plug in) = 113,000 (2 year net profit given to us)
So you would just have to divide 20/7 to get the percentage of it.
The answer would be 2.85%.
