Given:
Cars sold in 1996 = 51,644
Cars sold in 1997 = 54,244
Find the percentage in sales.
Solution:
In order to find the percentage in sales, we divide the total cars sold in the first year by the total cars sold in the second year.
= 51,644/54,244
=0.95
In order to change the decimal into percentage form, multiply it by 100.
=(0.95)(100)
=95%
The percentage increase in sales 95%.
