Yearbook sales this year increased 120% over last year's yearbook sales. If 465 yearbooks were sold last year, how many were sold this year? Responses A 474474 B 521521 C 558558 D 1023
100% correct answer
D 1023
To find the number of yearbooks sold this year, first calculate the increase in sales from last year to this year:
120% increase over 465 = 1.2 * 465 = 558 yearbooks
Now, add this increase to last year's sales to find total yearbooks sold this year:
465 + 558 = 1023 yearbooks sold this year
Therefore, the correct answer is D 1023.
