Answer:
715 garden tractors.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a company’s sales of garden tractors increased about 106% from 2007 to 2008. The number of tractors sold in 2007 was 347.
So the number of tractors sold during 2008 will be 347 plus 106% of 347.
[tex]\text{Number of tractors sold during 2008}=\text{Number of tractors sold in year 2007+ Increase in number of tractors in 2008}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of tractors sold during 2008}=347+(\frac{106}{100}\times 347)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of tractors sold during 2008}=347+(1.06\times 347)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of tractors sold during 2008}=347+367.82[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of tractors sold during 2008}=714.82\approx 715[/tex]
Therefore, 715 garden tractors were sold in 2008.
