Answer 1

Hello

Here is your answer

Total sales of books in March(OP)=$245.87
Total sales of books in April(PP)=$279.87
Increae Price(IP)=PP-OP
=$279.87-245.87
=$34
Increase%=
$\frac{ip}{op} \times 100$
=
$\frac{34}{245.87} \times 100$

=
$0.1382 \times 100$

=13.82%

Hope it helps you..

Answer 2

There is 13.83 percent of increase in sales.

Explanation:

This is about the sale of art books in the company Griffin.

It was provided sales figures of March and April, where there is net gain in sales in the month of April.

Sales in the month of March is: $245.87
Sales in the month of April is: $279.87

So net increase in sale is of value:
Sale in April - Sale in March
= $279.87 - $245.87 = $ 34

Percent in increase: Net increase/Sale in March x 100
= ($ 34 / $245.87) x 100
= 0.1383 x 100
= 13.83 %
Hence, there is 13.83 percent of increase in sales.
