Answer:
(a)
[tex]\%Decrease= 12.5\%[/tex] --- TV
[tex]\%Decrease= 20\%[/tex] --- Laptop
(b) Laptop
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Normal Sales
[tex]TV = 2000[/tex] [tex]TV = 1750[/tex]
[tex]Laptop = 1800[/tex] [tex]Laptop = 1440[/tex]
Solving (a): Percentage increase of decrease for both
Percentage change is calculated as:
[tex]\%Change = \frac{New - Old}{Old} * 100\%[/tex]
For TV
[tex]\%Change = \frac{1750 - 2000}{2000} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Change = \frac{-250}{2000} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Change = -0.125* 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Change = -12.5\%[/tex]
It is a decrease because it is negative
[tex]\%Decrease= 12.5\%[/tex]
For Laptop
[tex]\%Change = \frac{1440 - 1800}{1800} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Change = \frac{-360}{1800} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Change = -0.2* 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Change = -20\%[/tex]
It is a decrease because it is negative
[tex]\%Decrease= 20\%[/tex]
Solving (b):
Laptop has the best reduced price because it has a larger percentage decrease
