Question

the weekly sales of golf balls increased from 5000 to 6000 during the masters week. by what percent did the golf ball sales increase? a 10% b 17% c 20% d 83% e 120%

Explanation:

Step1: Find the increase in sales

The original sales are 5000 and the new sales are 6000. The increase is \( 6000 - 5000 = 1000 \).

Step2: Calculate the percentage increase

The formula for percentage increase is \( \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original}} \times 100\% \). Substituting the values, we get \( \frac{1000}{5000} \times 100\% = 0.2 \times 100\% = 20\% \).

Answer:

C. 20%
