Question

Yearbook sales this year increased 120% over last year's yearbook sales. If 465 yearbooks were sold last year, how many were sold this year?

Answer 1

To find out how many yearbooks were sold this year, we need to calculate 120% of last year's sales and then add that amount to last year's sales.

120% of 465 = 1.2 * 465 = 558

This year's sales = 465 + 558 = 1023

Therefore, 1023 yearbooks were sold this year.
