Answer:

2, 240

Step-by-step explanation:

In the table, the values should be

Year 1   725  

Year 2   579

Year 3   696

Since Year 4 sold 112% of the previous 3 years combined, we add 725+579+696=2000. We can find 112% by writing a proportion.

[tex]\frac{112}{100} =\frac{x}{2000}[/tex]

We solve through cross multiplication of numerator and denominator of the opposite fraction.

[tex]112(2000)=100(x)\\224000=100x\\2,240=x[/tex]
