Q:

You have been averaging 55 sales per day. Per our new policy, everyone needs to increase his or her sales per day by 10% in the next month. Rounding up, by next month you will need to be up to __________ sales.

Accepted Solution

A:
To find your new number of sales per month, you will need to find the number of sales you have per month (based on 30 days per month). Β 

55 x 20 = 1650 sales.

Than, you will need to calculate what 10% of this is and add it to your original sales number.

0.1 (10%) x 1650 = 165

1650 + 165 = 1815

You will need approximately 1815 sales based on the 30 day month.
