Question

The store manager decided to decrease price of ice cream store sells by 10% for the month of July. The amount of ice-cream sold in July increased by 24% comparing to June. Did the store proceedings (money that the store obtained from ice cream sales) increase or decrease in July? By how many percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

For example:

Price of ice cream in june was 10$ and amount of ice cream sold is 100. Store earned 10$ 100=1000$

Price of ice cream in july has been decreased by 10%. Price of ice cream is now 9$. The amoun of ice cream sold in july increased by 24% compering to june. So amount of sold ice cream in july is 124. Store earned 9$*124=1116$.

Store's proceedings increased in July by 11.6%.
