A grocery store sells three brands of hot sauce. Last month, the store sold 128 containers of brand A, 170 containers of brand B, and 152 containers of brand C
If the store sells 880 containers of hot sauce the next month, how many containers of brand C can they expect to sell?
To find out how many containers of brand C the store can expect to sell the next month, we first need to find out the percentage of each brand's sales in the previous month.
Total containers sold last month = 128 + 170 + 152 = 450 containers
Percentage of brand A sold = (128/450) * 100 = 28.44%
Percentage of brand B sold = (170/450) * 100 = 37.78%
Percentage of brand C sold = (152/450) * 100 = 33.78%
Now, we can calculate the expected containers of brand C to be sold next month:
If the store sells 880 containers next month, the expected containers of brand C = (33.78/100) * 880 = 297.504
Therefore, the store can expect to sell around 297 containers of brand C next month.
