Question

A music store owner noted that CD sales had dropped 11% from one quarter to the next. If the owner sold 744 units in the first quarter, how many did she sell in the next quarter? Round your answer to the nearest whole unit of CDs. Do not include units with your answer.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

In order to obtain the number of units, she sold in the next quarter, assuming this variable is called x, we must apply the following relationship:

$x=744-(0.11*744)$

Multiplying numbers:

$x=744-81.84$

Subtracting numbers:

$x=662.16$

In conclusion, the solution is 662 units.
