Question

heather sells cosmetics for a local company. during her first month of employment her sales were $60. during her second moth her sales were $300. what was heather's percent of increase in sales?

Answer 1

Answer:

400%

Explanation

Given the following

Sales in the first month = $60

Sales in the second month = $300

Increment = $300 - $60

Increment = $240

Percent increase in sales = Increment/sales in the first month * 100

Percent increase in sales = 240/60 * 100

Percent increase in sales = 4 * 100

Percent increase in sales = 400%

Hence the percentage increase in sales is 400%
