Answer 1

Their percent increase in car sales is 200%.

Explanation:

Given:

Last month, jones car lot sold $150,000.00 worth of cars.

This month their car sales reached $450,000.00.

Now, to find the percent increase in car sales.

Last month car sold = $150,000.00.

This month sale of car = $450,000.00.

So, to get the amount of increase we subtract:

`450000-150000`

=
`300,000.00`

Now, to get the percent of increase:

`(300,000)/(150,000) * 100`

`=2* 100`

`=200\%.`

Therefore, their percent increase in car sales is 200%.
