Should be 12.5
19.5 would come out to be greater than 20
17.5 would come out to be 20, but it must be less than
therefore, 12.5 is the answer
Writing an expression for that, we get y=4x+(1/3)
Part A)
Total stores = 362 + 66 = 428
362 / 428 = 0.845 = 84.5% = 85%
66 / 428 = 0.154 = 15.4% = 15%
Yes this is consistent with the percentages shown in the first table.
Part B)
Total stores : 197 +115 = 312
197 / 312 = 0.631 = 63.1% = 63%
115 / 312 = 0.368 = 36.8% = 37%
The percentage for current stores is less than what is shown in the first table, so this would not be consistent.
Part C )
Percentage of new stores for the Northeast = 60 / 310 = 19%
The percentage of new stores for The Midwest and Northeast are below 25%, but the percentage of new stores in the South is above 25%, so the additional training wouldn't be required for the South, but should be required for the other two areas.
