What is the percentage increase in sales of product A from Q1 to Q2? 
 

• A. 15%
• B. 20%

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: A’s sales: Q1 = 100, Q2 = 120.
- Step 2: Increase = $120 - 100 = 20$.
- Step 3: Percentage increase = $\frac{20}{100} \times 100 = 20%$.
- Step 4: Verify: $100 \times 1.2 = 120$.
- Step 5: Option (2) is 20%, correct.
- Step 6: Confirm calculation accuracy.
