Salesperson Book sale
B. Lowell 1,331
J. Hernandez 8,772
K. Schwartz 3,420
M. Jackson 5,104
S. Corelli 2,090
The total number of books sold by the store is the sum of the number of books sold by each sales person individually, therefore, the total number of books sold can be written as,
Total number of books sold = 1331+8772+3420+5104+2090 = 20,717
It is mentioned in the table that the number of books sold by the M.Jackson is 5,104, therefore, the percentage of the total number of books M Jackson sell can be written as,
[tex]\rm Percentage = \dfrac{\text{Number of books sold by M. Jackson}}{\text{Total number of books sold}}\times 100\%\\\\\\Percentage = \dfrac{5104}{20717} \times 100\% = 24.64\%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage of the total number of books M Jackson sold is 24.64%.
