Answer:
Number of orders seen on last Tuesday = 605
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of orders seen on Tuesday = 600
It is given that it is 0.85% less than last Tuesday.
Let number of sales on last Tuesday = [tex]x[/tex]
As per question statement:
Number of order on last Tuesday - 0.85% of Number of order on last Tuesday = 600
OR
i.e. if we subtract 0.85% of x from x, it must be equal to 600.
[tex]x-\dfrac{0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{100-0.85}{100}x =600\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{99.15}{100} \times x =600\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{600\times 100}{99.15}\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{60000}{99.15}\\\Rightarrow x \approx 605[/tex]
So, there were about 605 order seen last Tuesday.
