Explanation:

In order to calculate Axe's awareness level for next year, first we need to calculate the Opening awareness level as follows:

Opening awareness level=Closing level−Decrease in awareness per year

=80%−(1/3 ×80%)

=80%−26.4%

=53.6%

Therefore, in order to calculate Axe's awareness level for next year we would have to use the following formula:

Expected Awareness level=Opening awareness level+Increase in level

=53.6%+5%

=58%
