from 1994 to 1995 the sales of a book decreased by 80% if the sales in 1996 were the same as in 19..

Answer / dhwani

Lets say that for example, the sales in 1994 were 100. If the sales decreased by 80%, then the sales in 1995 would be 20. The question states that the sales for 1996 were the same as 1994, so it would also be 100. However, to find out the increase in percent between 1995 and 1996, you have to find out what percent of 20 is 80. The answer is 400%
