The solved table has been attached as an image. And Week 2 recorded the highest % of ski equipment. Please see explanation below:
We have been given the following information:
- Ski Equipment Sales ($) for Week 2 and Week 4
- Percent of Total Sales for Week 1 and Week Week 3
- Total Sales for Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4
We know that for a particular week:
Ski Equipment Sales ($) = Percent of Total Sales × Total Sales
Based on the above formula, for week 1:
Ski Equipment Sales ($) = Percent of Total Sales × Total Sales
⇒ Ski Equipment Sales ($) = 50% × 400
⇒ Ski Equipment Sales ($) = 200
For Week 2:
Percent of Total Sales = [tex]\frac{Ski Equipment Sales}{Total Sales}[/tex]
⇒ Percent of Total Sales = [tex]\frac{175}{250}[/tex]
⇒ Percent of Total Sales = 70%
For Week 3:
Ski Equipment Sales ($) = Percent of Total Sales × Total Sales
⇒ Ski Equipment Sales ($) = 65% × 300
⇒ Ski Equipment Sales ($) = 195
For Week 4:
Percent of Total Sales = [tex]\frac{Ski Equipment Sales}{Total Sales}[/tex]
⇒ Percent of Total Sales = [tex]\frac{110}{270}[/tex]
⇒ Percent of Total Sales = 41%
So now we know that percent of total sales is as follows:
Week 1: 50%
Week 2: 70%
Week 3: 65%
Week 4: 41%
Hence, highest percentage is for Week 2
