Question

This year, a company consumed 30 percent

fewer sheets of paper than it did last year. If the
company used 270,000 sheets of paper this year,
approximately how many sheets did it use last
year?
A) 351,000
B) 362,000
C) 378,000
D) 386,000

Answer 1

a) 351,000

explanation: you take 270,000 (the amount of tickets this year) and add 30%

270,000 + 30 percent is 315,000

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sheet used this year = 270,000

Sheet used last year = 270,000 + 270,000*30% = 270,000 + 81,000 = 351,000
