Question

2. Visa USA stated that over the last year, the number of Friday and Saturday sales transactions increased 16% to $38.8 million. What were the total sales transactions at this time last year? Round to the nearest million.

Answer 1

Last year's sales: x
This year's sales is : x + .16x

(last year's + 16% of last year's sales)

Therefore, x + .16x = 38.8

Combine like terms on the left, you get

1.16x = 38.8

x = $33 million, to the nearest million
