Question 64
<pre><font face = "courier new">my quota is 3000 cases and last year I sold 1887 cases
what percentage of increase is 3000 cases?

The numerical increase is 3000-1887 or 1113

 Then we ask:

"What percent of 1887 is 1113?

Let x = decimal increase. 

3000x = 1113

    x = 1113/1887

    x = .5898 or 58.98% increase, approximately
