a car dealership sold 215 cars in april. the dealership wants to increase the number of cars sold by 10% in may. how many cars will the dealership need to sell to reach their goal?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 10% of 215

$215\times 0.1 = 21.5$

Step2: Find the number of cars to sell in May

$215+21.5=236.5$

Since we can't sell half - a car in practice, we usually round up. So the dealership needs to sell 237 cars.

Answer:

237
