Question

Abby works in the sales department. This month the company is offering a 3-week paid vacation to every employee who sells 230% of the amount sold last month. If Abby sold $480 products last month, how much does she need to sell this month to earn the vacation

Answer 1

well, what's 230% of $480?

`\begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{230\% of 480}}{\left( \cfrac{230}{100} \right)480}\implies \text{\LARGE 1104}`
