Answer 1

Answer:

A home goods store sells 175 rugs in the

first quarter of the fiscal year. If it sells

20% more rugs in the next quarter, how

many rugs does it sell in the second

quarter

Answer 2

Concept:

The percentage can be written as a ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. An increase in percentage can be written as

Total = Initial + Increase in %

Given:

The rugs sold in the first quarter is 175 and the increase in % in next quarter is 20%.

Find:

The number of rugs sold in the second quarter.

Solution:

The number of rugs sold in the first quarter is 175 and the increase in sales in the next quarter is 20%.

Increase, i = 20% of 175

i = (20/100) × 175 = (1 / 5) × 175

i = 35

Total number of rugs sold in the next quarter,

T = Sold in first-quarter + Increase in sell

T = 175 + 35 = 210

Hence, the total rugs sold in the second quarter is 210.
