Question

Last year George sold $82 worth of vanishing potion. This year he sold $118 of it. What percent of last year's sales is this year's sales?

Answer 1

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Last years worth of vanishing potion= $82

This years worth of vanishing portion= $118

Note: Another way of asking this question is "what percent of $82 is $118"

So

=82/118*100

=0.69*100

=69%

=70% approx

Hence last years sale is 70% of this year's sales
