A team of 12 people sold 64 units at $7 each and a team of 6 sold 60 units at $7 each who is the winner by the percentage of sales

Question

the team completion is to be based on number of sales per the number of employees per team. Team 1 has 12 employees and sold 64 units at $7 per unit. team 2 Has 6 employees that sold 60 units at $7 per unit what is the sales percentage of each team and who won the competition And why.

Answer 1

In the problem statement, the phrase "...based on number

of sales per number of employees..." tells us how to set

up the fractions for calculating the individual employee 

percentages.  Then calculate total team percentages based 

on those percentages and the number of employees on each 

team.

 

So, "team number of sales" is the numerator, "number of

employees" is the denominator, and "per" means divide.

 

64+60=124........"total #units" sold collectively by both teams

 

 

Team1:

(#units) / (#employees)=64/12=5.33units per employee

(%sales) / employee=(units per employee)/(total units)

                                    =(5.33/124)x100

                                    =(4.30%) / employee

Team1 sales percentage=(4.30%)x12 employees

                                           =51.61% of total sales

Note:  This percentages could have been found by simply

            dividing (Team1 total #units) / (total #units)

 

 

Team2:

(#units) / (#employees)=60/6=10units per employee

(%sales) / employee=(units per employee)/(total units)

                                    =(10/124)x100

                                    =(8.06%) / employee

 Team2 sales percentage=(8.06%)x6 employees

                                            =48.39% of total sales

Note: This percentages could have been found by simply
           dividing (Team2 total #units) / (total #units)

 

 

Both team sales percentages do add up to 100% of total

sales.  Team1 had the better "team sales percentage"

at 51.61% and would be declared the winner.
