Shoe sells for a certain company were $25.9 billion. sales are expected to increase by about 20% in the next year. find the projected amount of shoe sales next year

For this case we can make the following rule of three:

$ 25.9 billion ----------------> 100%

x <------------------------------- 120%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

Therefore, sales for the next year are expected to be $ 31.08 billion

The projected amount of shoe sales next year is:

$ 31.08 billion

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
