What was the actual revenue generated by Binders during the three-month period from October to December, assuming the report overestimated revenues by 15%?

Correct! Wrong!

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

Tip: To determine the original non-overstated amount, add the "X" percent overstatement to 100%, then divide by 100%.

Explanation:
Step 1: Determine Graff's first-quarter revenue, which is 15,000

Step 2: Obtain Graff's fourth-quarter revenue, which is $30,000

Step 3: Take the newest quarter out of the oldest:

30,000 - 15,000 = 15,000

Step 4: Subtract this from the 'oldest' figure, the first quarter figure.

15,000 / 15,000 x 100

= 100%

How many more flights were cancelled at Stanstead between November and December and January and February, on average?

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
First, the percentage of canceled flights at Gatwick Airport to all other airports is requested. Write the following down in ratio format to begin:

20 : (30 + 20 + 15)

20 : 65

Step 2: Calculate the ratio by dividing 65 by 20:

65 ÷ 20 = 3.25

1 : 3.25

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
First, determine an 80% reduction in the number of flights canceled in January:

30 × (1-0.8) = 6

Second step: Subtract this amount from the March amount.

10 - 6 = 4
