Question

A music store owner noted that CD sales had dropped 22% from one quarter to the next. If the owner sold 544 units in the first quarter, how many did she sell in the next quarter?

Answer 1

424.32

Explanation:

You must first convert the percent to a decimal.

22% = 0.22

Then, you multiply the decimal to the units sold.

`544*0.22=199.68`

`544-199.68=424.32`
