Answer 1

To calculate the planned sales for next year, subtract 3% of last year's sales from the total. The correct answer is $184,300 (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the planned sales for next year, you need to decrease last year's sales by 3%. First, find 3% of $190,000 by multiplying 190,000 by 0.03. This gives you $5,700. Then, subtract $5,700 from $190,000 to find the planned sales for next year, which is $184,300. Therefore, the correct answer is $184,300 (a).

Answer 2

a because if you take the 190000 and multiply it by 3% and then subtract which is 5700 and take 190000 and subtract it by 5700 it will give u the answer is 184300
