Question

A company’s sales decreased 5% this year to $6,585. What were their sales last year?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6932

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last year's sales = x.  Since there was a decrease of 5%, that means this year's sales are 95% of last year's sales.

So, .95x = 6585

x = 6932 to the nearest dollar
