Question

the US based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build a 145000 motorcycles this year up from 135,000 last year find the percent of increase in production

Answer 1

The number of motor cycles produced last year is 135,000.

The number of motor cycles expected to produce is 145,000.

Therefore, the percentage of increase is,

`((145000-135000))/(135,000)*100`

That is,

`\begin{gathered} (10000)/(135000)*100=(10)/(135)*100 \\ =7.4 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the percentage of increase is 7.4%
