To determine if the marketing team's claim was correct, we need to compare the actual sales in May 2018 (63 caravans) with the expected sales if there was a 30% increase from May 2017.
In May 2017, Sunny Caravans sold 35 caravans.
To calculate a 30% increase, we multiply 35 by 0.30:
35 * 0.30 = 10.5
Adding the increase to the original sales, we get:
35 + 10.5 = 45.5
So, if there was a 30% increase, we would expect Sunny Caravans to sell 45.5 caravans in May 2018.
Since they actually sold 63 caravans, the marketing team's claim was correct.
In 2017, sunny caravans sold 25 caravans in april and 35 caravans in may. in 2018, they sold 40 caravans in april. in may, they changed the design and the marketing team claimed this would increase sales by 30%. In may 2018, sunny caravans sold 63 caravans. were the marketing team correct in their claim?
