Respuesta :

Answer:

36%

Explanation:

The information for two months of sales is:

• Month 1: 239 cars sold

,

• Month 2: 324 cars sold

We can classify the given information as:

• Initial: 239 cars sold

• Final: 324 cars sold

When the initial value is less than the final value, you have a percentage increase.

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage Increase =}\frac{\text{Final Value -Initial Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}\times100 \\ =\frac{\text{3}24-239}{\text{2}39}\times100 \\ =\frac{85}{239}\times100 \\ =36\%\text{ (to the nearest percent)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The percentage increase is 36% to the nearest percent.
