Question

The U.S- based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 146,000 motorcycles this year , up from 128,000 last year . Find the percent of increase in production

Answer 1

14.06%

Explanation:

Here we are asked to find the percent increase in the production of the motorcycle for US based manufacturer.

The production for the last year = 128,000

The production for the current year = 146,000

Total increased production = 146,000-128,000

= 18,000

Hence percentage calculation =
`(\ increase \ in \ sale)/(\ last \ year \ sale) * 100` %

Increased percentage =
`(18000)/(128000) * 100` %

Increased percentage =
`(18000)/(128000) * 100` %

=
`0.140625 * 100` %

=14.06%
