The golf ball sales increased by 1000 (6000 - 5000). To find the percent increase, we need to divide the increase by the original amount and multiply by 100.
Percent increase = (increase/original amount) * 100
Percent increase = (1000/5000) * 100
Percent increase = 0.20 * 100
Percent increase = 20
The golf ball sales increased by 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 20%.
