From the bar graph, we have:
Sales in first quarter (Jan - Mar) = $155,000
Sales in second quarter(Apr to JUn) = $232,500
Sales in third quarter (Jul to Sep) = $135,000
Sales in fourth quarter (Oct to Dec) = $160,000
Let's find the percent increase in sales from the first to second quarter.
To find the percent increase from first to second quarter, apply the formula:
Thus, we have:
Therefore, the percent increase from first to second quarter is 50 percent.
