Question

The following table shows the expressions that represent the sales of 4 companies: Company A B C D Sales 170(1.04)x 330(1.80)x 250(0.06)x 120(1.09)x Rank the company sales by smallest to largest percent of increase and select the correct answer below.

Answer 1

To rank the company sales by smallest to largest percent of increase, calculate the percent of increase for each company, which in this case is 0% for all companies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rank the company sales by smallest to largest percent of increase, we need to calculate the percent of increase for each company. The percent of increase can be found by subtracting the initial value from the final value, dividing that number by the initial value, and then multiplying by 100.

1. For company A: Percent of increase = ((170(1.04)x - 170(1.04)x) / (170(1.04)x)) * 100 = 0%
2. For company B: Percent of increase = ((330(1.80)x - 330(1.80)x) / (330(1.80)x)) * 100 = 0%
3. For company C: Percent of increase = ((250(0.06)x - 250(0.06)x) / (250(0.06)x)) * 100 = 0%
4. For company D: Percent of increase = ((120(1.09)x - 120(1.09)x) / (120(1.09)x)) * 100 = 0%

Since all the percent of increase values are 0%, the company sales can be ranked in any order, as there is no change in sales for any of the companies.
