The total number of soaps sold by companies Q and S together in May, is what percentage more than the number of soaps sold by company P in July?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Find the total soaps sold by companies Q and S in May.
Q in May = 1540
S in May = 1736
Total = 1540 + 1736 = 3276

Step 2: Find the number of soaps sold by company P in July.
P in July = 1820

Step 3: Calculate how much more the total of Q and S in May is compared to P in July.
Difference = 3276 - 1820 = 1456

Step 4: Calculate the percentage increase relative to P in July.
Percentage increase = (Difference / P in July) * 100 = (1456 / 1820) * 100 ≈ 80%

Therefore, the total number of soaps sold by companies Q and S together in May is 80% more than the number of soaps sold by company P in July.
