If sales are $1,104,000 in 2013 and this represents a 15% increase over sales in 2012,what were the sales for 2012?

Answer provided by our tutors

since the current sales is 1104,000

for 201=(1104,000)/(1+x)

where x is the increase

y represent the sales for 2012

y= (1104000)/(1+.15)

y= 960,000
