The company increased its sales from last year to this year by 34%. So,

This year's sales $=288+288\times \dfrac{34}{100}$

                            $=288+97.92$

                            $=385.92$

                            $\approx 386$

Therefore, this year's sales were 386 million dollars or $386,000,000.
