Answer:
The correct answer is option b) 27.5%.
Explanation:
To begin, we must analyze the information we have.
We know that new restaurant earnings are now $ 33456 and old earnings were $ 26230.
In order to know what the percentage of earnings is, what we must do is divide the new earnings by the old ones:
33456 : 26230 = 1.27548 ...
As we can see, the result is 27.5%.
If you still have any doubts, we can get that percentage to check it:
(26230 . 27.5): 100 =
(721325): 100 = 7213.5
That would be the amount of earnings, added to the initial amount:
7213.25 + 26230 = 33443.25 (Since the 27.5 percentage was not exact, we will have an approximate number).
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option B.
