Answer:
2. Sales forecasts $475,000
3. Ben needs 5 more hours
Step-by-step explanation:
2.
The sales are $500,000. The trend is a 5% reduction in the current year sales figure for next year's performance.
The sales forecast for next year will be a decrease of 5% of this year sales.
next sales will be $500,000 less 5%
Therefore, the next sales forecast will be 95% of $500,000
=95/100 x $500,000
=0.95 x $500,000
=$475,000
Forecasts will be $475,000
3.
Ben requires 20 hours of continuous training.
So far, he has done 900 minutes.
900 minutes is equivalent to 900/60 hours
=15 hours.
To complete the study, Ben requires 20 hrs -15 hours
=5 more hours
