Question

The goal this month is to increase production by 4% over last month. If there were 450 items produced last month and 466 the month before that, how many items must be produced this month to achieve the goal? A) 468 items B) 484 items C) 563 items D) 685 items

Answer 1

450 items were produced last month

466 items were produced a month before that

The goal is to have a 4% increase

If 450 items were produced last month

to meet the goal, then we need to multiply 450 by the percentage increase

The percentage increase = (100 + 4)%
