QUESTION 10 of 20: You are trying to forecast hot cocoa sales for the holiday season. You sold 1,900 boxes during the holidays last year,
but your overall sales for hot cocoa this year are 15% behind last year. If you have limited promotional dollars, what is a realistic total
demand forecast for hot cocoa sales during this holiday season?
a 1,615
b) 1,685
c) 1,765
d) 1,985

Respuesta :

Answer: a) 1,615

Step-by-step explanation:

1,900 equals 100% of sales compared to this holiday season, which is only 85% because...

100-15=85

0.85 x 1,900 = 1,615
