Question

The point Megamarket sold 200 peaches last season. This season they sold 250 . What was the percent increase on sales?

Answer 1

ok if they sold 400 then the increase would be at an 100 percentile....but they are at 250....which is one fourth of the percentile which is 25percent

Answer 2

`25\%`

Explanation:

we know that

`200` peaches represent the
`100\%`

the increase in sales is equal to

`250-200=50\ peaches`

so by proportion

Find the percent increase

`(100)/(200)=(x)/(50)\\\\ x=50*100/200\\\\ x=25\%`
