Answer:
The answer is "Option b"
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
In 2006:
Top coats= 297
Parkas= 210
Jackets =213
Raincoats=137
Trench coats =103
Total: [tex]297+210+213+137+103=960[/tex]
In 2007:
Top coats =223
Parkas = 210
Jackets= 285
Raincoats = 259,
Trench coats =127
Total: [tex]223+210+285+259+127=1,104[/tex]
Calculating the percentage of the increasing total sales:
[tex]\to \frac{1,104-960}{960}\times 100=15\%[/tex]
Calculating the percentage of the increasing sales of the trench coats: [tex]\to \frac{127-103}{103}\times 100 \approx 23.3\%[/tex]
Because [tex]23.3\%- 15\%=8.3\%[/tex] sales of the Trench coats increase by 8.3% point is faster than the total coat sales.
