Question

Ms. Rosen sells computers. Last month she sold 72 computers, and her goal is to sell 12% more computers this month than she sold last month. How many computers does she need to sell to reach her goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 more computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Computer sold last month = 72

Her goal is to sell 12% more computers this month than she sold last month.

We need to find how many computers does she need to sell to reach her goal.

12% of 72 = $\dfrac{12}{100}\times 72=8.64$

or

9

So, she needs to add sell 9 computers to reach the goal.
