Homework Statement


in 2006, sales revenue, 38% footwear, 45% of the clothes and the remaining 21 200 € for other products. In 2007, footwear sales increased by 5.3%. clothing and other products sales remain unchanged.

Homework Equations


What was the total sales of euro each year?

The Attempt at a Solution


For 2006:
38%--------x
17%--------21200€
x=47388.23€

45%--------y
17%--------21200€
y=56117.64€

so the total sales for 2006 = 47388.23+56117.64+21200 = 124705.87€ ?

For 2007:
x=47388.23€

50.3%-------y
105.3%---------124705.87*1.053
y=62727.05€

Total sales = 47388.23+62727.05+21200 = 131315.28€ ?

If, for some reason, there is no difference between sales prices of the footwear, clothing and other products, e.g, price of footwear = price of clothing = price of other products, then it looks like you've got the right answer. Otherwise, there isn't sufficient information to gather a total amount, as far as I can see :smile:
 
Assuming that the percentages are percentages of revenue and not "number of items", it is NOT necessaary that the sales prices be the same. But, yes, I get the same result as you.
