What was the actual revenue generated by Binders during the three-month period from October to December, assuming the report overestimated revenues by 15%?
Explanation:
Step 1: Obtain the following amount from the sale of binders during the quarter ending in December: £35,000.
Step 2: This revenue estimate is 15% inflated. Therefore, it is 115%. 100% are required in the question. Simply multiply by 100 and divide by 115:
£35,000 ÷ 115 x 100 = £30,435

30 × (1-0.8) = 6
Second step: Subtract this amount from the March amount.
10 - 6 = 4
