A sales manager reports an increase of 28% in sales this year
compared to last
year.
The increase was $70 560.
What were the sales last year?​

Respuesta :

Let x be the sales last year .

Then :-

[tex] \frac{28}{100} \: of \: x = \: \: 70560[/tex]

[tex] \frac{28}{100} x = 70560[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{70560 \times 100}{28} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{7056000}{28} [/tex]

[tex]x = 252000[/tex]

Therefore , the sales last year was $252,000 .
