Question

If the selling of price model B is60% more than the selling price of model A what percent of the total sales do the sales of model A represent

Answer 1

1 * 100
---------- = 38.46 %
1 + 1.6

Answer 2

38.46%.

Explanation:

Let x represent the selling price of model A.

We have been given that the selling of price model B is 60% more than the selling price of model A. So the selling price of model B would be x plus 60% of x.

`\text{Selling price of model B}=x+(60)/(100)*x`

`\text{Selling price of model B}=x+0.6x`

`\text{Selling price of model B}=1.6x`

To find the percent of the sales of model A to the total sales, we will use formula:

`\frac{\text{Sales of model A}}{\text{Sales of model A+Sales of model B}}* 100\%`

`(x)/(x+1.6x)* 100\%`

`(x)/(2.6x)* 100\%`

`(100)/(2.6)\%`

`38.4615\%\approx 38.46\%`

Therefore, sales of model A are 38.46% of the total sales.
