The manager of an online news service received the report above on the number of subscriptions sold by the service. The manager estimated that the percent increase from 2012 to 2013 would be double the percent increase from 2013 to 2014. How many subscriptions did the manager expect would be sold in 2014?
Correct answer: B. 6,027
- A. 6,020
- B. 6,027
- C. 6,440
- D. 6,468
Explanation
Choice B is correct. The percent increase from 2012 to 2013 was 5,880 - 5,600 / 5,600 = 0.05 or 5%. Since the percent increase from 2012 to 2013 was estimated to be double the percent increase from 2013 to 2014, the percent increase from 2013 to 2014 was expected to be 2.5%. Therefore, the number of subscriptions sold in 2014 is expected to be the number of subscriptions sold in 2013 multiplied by (1 + 0.025), or 5,880(1.025) = 6,027.
