- How many punchers did the shop sell in March?
- The number of punchers sold in May was an 50% increase from the number sold in April. How many punchers were sold in May?
(a)
Number of punchers sold in March = 30
(b)
Total number of punchers sold in May as compared to April

150% → 150 x 0.3 = 45
Number of punchers sold in May = 45
