Answer:
175%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Jocelyn expects her new software company to increase its sales best year 2 3/4 times their present value, to determine this increase as a percentage, the following calculation must be performed:
3/4 = 0.75
2 + 0.75 = 2.75
Thus, if for example its present value were $ 10, the increase would operate as follows:
10 x 2.75 = 27.5
10 = 100
27.5 = X
27.5 x 100/10 = X
2750/10 = 275
275 - 100 = 175
Thus, an increase of 2 3/4 times would be equal to an increase of 175%.
