Answer 1

Answer:

The number of units sold increased by $\mathbf{11.2\%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Vacuum dealer sold units in 2011 = 420

Vacuum dealer sold units in 2012 = 467

We need to find percent increase or decrease

Since, In 2012 units sold are greater than 2011, so there will be percent increase.

The formula used is: $Percent\:Increase=\frac{New\:Value-Original\:Value}{Original\:Value}\times 100$

We have New Value (Units sold in 2012) = 467

Original Value (Units sold in 2011) = 420

Percent increase is:

$Percent\:Increase=\frac{New\:Value-Original\:Value}{Original\:Value}\times 100\\Percent\:Increase=\frac{467-420}{420}\times 100\\Percent\:Increase=\frac{47}{420}\times 100\\Percent\:Increase=11.2\%$

So, The number of units sold increased by $\mathbf{11.2\%}$
