Question

Nintendo sold 19.5 million copies of their game this year. new increase our sales by 3% next year. how many copies will they sell next year ?

Answer 1

This year's sale was 19.5 million copies of a game.

For the next year, they expect a sales increase of 3%.

To determine how many copies they expect to sell, first, you have to calculate the 3% of this year's sales, to do so multiply 19.5 by 3 and divide it by 100

$\frac{19.5\cdot3}{100}=0.585$

The 3% of the year's sales is 0.585 million

Next add the 3% to the total sales of this year to determine the expected sales for next year:

$19.5+0.585=20.085$

Next year they will sell 20.085 million copies
