help me, please......Solve the following problem.
Last year's sales were $14,200. Sales have increased 57% this year. How much is the increase?
$
14200 x .57 = $____
(57% = .57)
14,200 * 0.57 = _________
To find the increase in sales, we first need to calculate 57% of the sales from last year.
Step 1: Calculate 57% of last year's sales.
To do this, we multiply the sales from last year ($14,200) by 57% (57/100).
$14,200 * 57/100 = $8,094
Step 2: Add the increase to last year's sales.
Add the increase ($8,094) to the sales from last year ($14,200).
$8,094 + $14,200 = $22,294
Therefore, the increase in sales for this year is $22,294.
