Identify the percent increase in total sales and the percent increase in sales of trench coats. Then find which percent of

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer b: Sales of trench coats increased 8.3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

First add all the sales for 2006, and do the same for the 2007 sales, so we can compare both total sales numbers:

For 2006 we have:

103+297+210+213+137 = 960 total sales

For 2007 we have:

127+223+210+285+259 =  1104 total sales

The percent increase is calculated as the difference between the final value minus the original value, divided by the original value and multiplied by 100:

For the total number of coats we have that the percent increase is: $\frac{1104-960}{960} * 100= 15$%

For the trench coats (which went from 103 sales tp 127 sales) we have the following percent increase: $\frac{127-103}{103} * 100= 23.3$%

Therefore, the percent increase in trench coats was larger than the percent increase in total sales by:

23.3 % - 15% = 8.3%
