Answer 1

Concept used:

Total Sales = Number of outlets × Sales per outlet

Calculation:

Total sales of A = 2 × 100 = 200

Total sales of B = 4 × 340 = 1360

Total sales of C = 1 × 120 = 120

Total sales of D = 5 × 180 = 900

Total sales of E = 3 × 360 = 1080

Total sales of F = 5 × 80 = 400

∴ Total sales from all the outlets of a showroom was the highest in the year 2020 for the HP-showroom B.
