difference was there in the amount of sale?
(1) 1% less (2) 1% more (3) There was no difference (4) 10% more​

Answer 1

1

Step-by-step explanation:

t,total amount of sale = price,p x sales,s =

t=p*s

price increased by 10% p 1 = px(1+10%)=p(1+0.1) = 1.1p =

sales decreased by 10% s1= sx(1-10%) = s(1-0.1) = 0.9s

t1 = s1 * p1

= 1.1p * 0.9 s =0.99ps =0.99t =

creased from t to t1

= t1-t/t x100

=0.99t -t/t x100
