Question

during the month of february, fabulous feet shoe mart sold 30 pairs of red loafers. after an ad campaign to boost sales, they sold 36 pairs in march. find the percent of increase in sales

Answer 1

I am going to assume a "month" to "month" neglecting the fact there is 28/29 days in February and 31 in March.

In March they had an increase of 6 pairs of shoes increase based on the 30 pairs sold in February. So the question is what percent of 30 is 6.
6 is 1/5 of 30 so conver 1/5 to a percentage. 1/5 is the same as .20 or 20%

Answer 2

Omg thank you so much @radar i was stuck on this question forever !
