Answer 1

budget sales per season

Seaon Year 5

winter 1,473

spring 1,934

summer 2,267

fall 826

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calcualte the average per season:

Seaon Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Average per season

winter 1440 1240 1000 920.00 1,150.00

spring 1500 1440 1600 1,500.00 1,510.00

summer 1040 2140 2000 1900 1,770.00

fall 600 770 690 520 645.00

Now, we cross multiply to get the next year values

Seaon Average per season Year 5

winter 1,150.00 1,472.91 (1150/5075 x 6500)

spring 1,510.00 1,933.99

summer 1,770.00 2,267.00

fall 645.00 826.11

5,075.00 6,500.00
