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. a) What is the amount of increase in computers needed? b)What is the new amount of computers the team must sell?

Answer 1

Answer: a. 14 Computers

b. 62 Computers

Explanation:

a) What is the amount of increase in computers needed?

Number of Computers sold last month = 48

Percentage increase required = 30%

Amount of increase in computers needed= 30% × 48

= 0.3 × 48

= 14.4

= 14 approximately

b)What is the new amount of computers the team must sell?

This will be the amount of Computers sold last month plus the increase.

= 48 + 14

= 62 Computers
