You can put this solution on YOUR website! 100% of the pizza market is $2.4million or $2,400,000.
This si 100% so it is 100 x more than 1% of the total market.
In other words 1% of the market is 1/100 of the total market ...
or $2,400,000/100 = $24,000
The pepperoni market is 31%, which is 31 x 1% of the market = 31 x 24000 = $744,000
Sausage pizza is 20%, which is 20% 1% of the market = 20 x 24000 = $480,000
So, the difference between the two is 744,000 - 480,000 = $264,000
