Question 46012: This is a question that came from an online sample THEA test online. Could you please provide a step-by-step analysis for solving the problem. I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to refresh my math skills to take the THEA next week. I am a bit rusty to say the least.
Thank-you :-)

The last week of a month a car dealership sold 12 cars. A new sales promotion came out the first week of the next month and the sold 19 cars that week. What was the percent increase in sales from the last week of the previous month compared to the first week of the next month?

Percentage Change =%28%28Final-initial%29%2FInitial%29%2A100
So you get %28%2819-12%29%2F12%29%2A100
= %287%2F12%29%2A100
Approx 58%
