Answer:

Season:

Fall 262 units

Winter 391 units

Spring 178 units

Summer 569 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the average for each season.

Then, we cross multiply for 1,400 radials to get the values:


\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Season&Y_1&Y_2&Average\\$fall&250&200&225\\$winter&320&350&335\\$spring&160&145&152.5\\$summer&635&340&487.5\\\\$total&1035&1365&1200\end{array}\right]

Now we cross multiply to get the expected sales for Year 3:

225 / 1200 * 1400 = 262

335/ 1200 * 1400 = 391

152.5/ 1200 * 1400 = 178

487.5/ 1200 * 1400 = 569
