Q1
What is the percentage increase in the sales of the company in the period 2014 to 2015?
- A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 14%
D. 78%
As given Sales in 2014 = 12000
Sales in 2015 – 18000
So, increase is [latex]\Rightarrow \frac {6000}{12000} = 0.5 \times 100 = 50%[/latex]
Q2
Which product has shown the highest increase in the sales from 2014 to 2015 ?
- A. P
B. Q
C. R
D. V
AS from 2014 to 2015 there is increase of 50 % So,
100 [latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] 150
V in 2014 = 5% of 12000 = 600
V in 2015= 20% of 18000 = 3600
So % increase = [latex]\frac {3600 × 100}{600} [/latex]= 600%
So V has the highest increase of 600%
Q3
What is the difference between the sales of Q in 2015 to 2014?
- A. $ 700
B. $ 2100
C. $ 2800
D. $ 900
IN 2014 the number of products of Q is [latex]\Rightarrow \frac {20 \times 12000} {100} = 2400[/latex]
In 2015 [latex]\Rightarrow \frac {25 \times 18000}{100} = 4500[/latex]
So, difference is [latex]4500 - 2400 = 2100 [/latex]
Q4
For how many products did the sales increase by more than 40% from 2014 to 2015?
- A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
AS calculated the iNcrease in sales from 2014to 2015 is 50%
So, 100 [latex]\Rightarrow 150[/latex]
Now calculate for P, Q ,R ……
The sales Increase by 40 % for these products --.
P, Q,R,V
Q5
How much is the total sales for S for both years 2014 & 2015?
- A. $ 5400
B. $ 5000
C. $ 4200
D. $ 3000
For year 2014 [latex]\Rightarrow \frac {30 \times 12000}{100} = $3600[/latex]
For year 2015 [latex]\Rightarrow \frac {10 \times 18000}{100} = 1800[/latex]
So, total sales of S is [latex]\rightarrow 3600 + 1800 = 5400[/latex]
