Question: 1 / 400

If a store sells 30% more of an item after a sale than it did before, how many items did it sell after the sale if it sold 200 items before?

220 items

240 items

260 items

To determine how many items were sold after the sale, we first need to compute the increased amount based on the initial sales figure. If the store sold 200 items before the sale and then sells 30% more after the sale, we calculate the increase first.

30% of 200 is found by multiplying 200 by 0.30:

200 × 0.30 = 60.

Next, we add this increase to the original number of items sold:

200 + 60 = 260.

Therefore, the number of items sold after the sale is 260. This process clearly conveys how to arrive at the final answer by using percentages to find the increase from the original sales figure.
