In July 2018, if the sales of cars by the dealer D increases by the same percentage as in June 2018 over its previous month, then what is the number of cars sold by D in July 2018?

Options:

1020

959

1014

975

Correct Answer:

1014

Explanation:

Percentage increase in sale of D in June = \(\frac{180}{600}\) × 100

= 30%

( percentage of sale is same for June and July )

Total sale of D in July = 780 + \(\frac{3}{10}\) × 780 = 1014
