Question

Times are tough for Peter the Penguin and his "Hug a Penguin" business has been on the decline. Last year Peter the Penguin made $570 dollars from selling hugs. If he experienced a 20% decrease in sales how much did he make this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

the new sales after decrease in sales percentage this year is $456 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the sales made this year is  shown below:

Given that

last year sales would be $570 dollars

And in this year there is 20% decrease in sales

so, the new sales after 20% decrease would be

= Last year sales × (1 - decreased percentage)

= $570 × (1 - 0.20)

= $570 × 0.80

= $456 dollars

hence, the new sales after decrease in sales percentage this year is $456 dollars
