What was the increase in the number of yards of fabric distributed to retailer D from 2000 to 2005?

Answer 1

Is A 20% ? or 10% ?

Answer 2

20% sorry

Answer 3

C = 30%
B = 30%
A = 20%
Thus D = 100 - (30+30+20) = 20 %
Getting this? :)

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Now in 2000
the manufacturer distributed a total of 1,500,000 yards of fabric to these retailers.

So D received 20% OF that amount
20/100 * 1.5 million [Calculate it]

And in 2005
the manufacturer distributed a total of 2,800,000 yards of fabric to these retailer.
So D again received 20% OF that amount
20/100 * 2.8 million [Calculate it]



Now this is what they are asking us:
What was the increase in the number of yards of fabric distributed to retailer D from 2000 to 2005?

Now just find the difference between them. :D
