Question

The given table shows the number of soaps sold by four different companies in 4 different months
| Month     | May  | June | July | August |
|-----------|------|------|------|--------|
| Company   |      |      |      |        |
| P         | 1924 | 1780 | 1820 | 1490   |
| Q         | 1540 | 1245 | 1648 | 2450   |
| R         | 2035 | 1485 | 1350 | 1650   |
| S         | 1736 | 1855 | 1470 | 1180   |

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 together in May.
Q (May) = 1540
S (May) = 1736
Total = 1540 + 1736 = 3276

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

Step 3: Calculate how much more 3276 is than 1820.
Difference = 3276 - 1820 = 1456

Step 4: Calculate the percentage more:
Percentage more = (Difference / P in July) × 100
= (1456 / 1820) × 100
= 0.8 × 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.
