Cameroon corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $15.90 each. if 10,000 units were sold in december, and management forecasts 5% growth in sales each month, the dollar amount of electric stapler sales budgeted for february should be:

Sales in December = 10,000*15.90 = $159,000

For 5% forecast growth each month;

Sales in January = (1+0.05)*Sales in December = 1.05*159,000 = $166,950
Sales in February = (1+0.05)*Sales in January = 1.05*166,950 = $175,297.50

The company should budget for $175,297.50 sales in February.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
