Taylor,

Answer:

To do this problem you need to find the difference between Store A and B and then divide by the total shirts sold by Store B, then convert this decimal to a percentage.

% difference = (Store A - Store B)/Store B x 100

% difference = (118-105)/105 *100= 13/105 *100 = 12.38%

Store A sells approximately 12% more than Store B.
