Question

The sales team at an electronics store sold 48 computers last month. The manager at the store wants to encourage the sales team to sell more computers and is going to give all the sales team members a bonus if the number of computers sold increases by 30% in the next month. How many computers must the sales team sell to receive the bonus? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

number of computers must the sales team sell to receibe the bonus=48 computers + 30% of 48 computers.

30% of 48 computers=(30/100)(48 computers)=(30*48 computers)/100=14.4 computers≈15 computers

number of computers=48 computers +15 computers=63 computers.

Answer= the sales team must sell to receive the bonus 63 computers.

Answer 2

The number of computers sold has to be 30% more than 48.
30% of 48 plus the numbers sold last month
.3 x 48 +48
14.4 +48
62.4
Round up because the numbers has to be an integer value. (You can't have 2/5 of a computer).

63 computers

Hope this helps :)
