Problem: If last year's sales were $200,000 and this years increase was 250%, how much are this years sales?
Now the directions were to "Use all the concepts of this section to solve the following problem."
I've been able to change around the word problems to relate them to the concepts given when it came to the other questions, but I can't figure this one out.
The concepts were:
The rate always has the % sign
The word of points to the base
The other figure, the one without % or the of, is the percentage.
If you don't have the percentage, multiply.
If you do have the percentage, divide it by the other number you have.
Suppose the problem says "How much is 47% of 130?" (Missing percentage)
To solve 130 x 0.47= 61.1
Suppose the problem says, "What percent of 124 is 16?" (Missing Rate)
To solve 16/ 124= 0.129 = 12.9%
Suppose the problem says "12% of what number is 64?"
To solve 64/0.12= 533.3
How can I change the question around in the form of the one of the concpets?
Please help?
