Answer:
36%
Explanation:
The sales of cars in the two months are:
• Month 1: 239 cars sold
,• Month 2: 324 cars sold
First, we determine if it is an increase or decrease.
If:
• Final - Initial = Positive (We have an increase)
,• Final - Initial = Negative (We have a decrease)
In this case:
• Final Value = 324
,• Initial Value =239
Final - Initial =324-239=85 (Positive)
[tex]\begin{gathered} \%\text{ Increase =}\frac{Final-\text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\times100 \\ =\frac{324-\text{2}39}{\text{2}39}\times100 \\ =\frac{85}{\text{2}39}\times100 \\ =35.56\% \\ =36\%\text{ (to the nearest percent)} \end{gathered}[/tex]The percentage increase in car sales is 36% to the nearest percent.
