Answer:
400%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sales be "100" in 1994
Since, it decreased 80%, the sales was:
80% = 80/100 = 0.8
0.8 * 100 = 80 (decreased by 80)
So, it was
Sales in 1995: 100 - 80 = 20
Sales in 1996 was same as in 1994, so that's 100
Thus,
Sales in 1994: 100
Sales in 1995: 20
Sales in 1996: 100
We need to find percentage increase form 1995 to 1996, that is what percentage increase is from 20 to 100?
We will use the formula:
[tex]\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100[/tex]
Where
New is 100
Old is 20
SO, we have:
[tex]\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\=\frac{100-20}{20}*100\\=4*100\\=400[/tex]
So, it increased by 400%
