To determine

To find : how much Vikas have to sell calendars in this year to reach his goal.

Answer to Problem 47CCR

Vikas will have to sell 105 calendars in this year.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Last month, Vikas sold 75 calendars and this year he wants to sell calendars $40\%$ more than last year.

Calculation :

Vikas sold 75 calendars last month

Vikas wants to sell calendars 40% more calendars

Therefore, 40% of 75 calendars is

  $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{40}{100}\cdot 75\\ =\frac{2}{5}\cdot 75\\ =2\cdot 15\\ =30\end{array}$

Therefore, Vikas will have to sell calendars this year is $75+30=105$

Hence, Vikas will have to sell 105 calendars this year to reach his goal.
