A certain company reported that the revenue on sales increased 30 % from 2000 to 2003, and increased 80 % from 2000 to 2005. What was the approximate percent increase in revenue for this store from 2003 to 2005? Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 50 % B) 40 % C) 35 % D) 32 % E) 39 %
Assume the revenue in 2000 to be 100. Then in 2003 it would be 130 and and in 2005 180, so from 2003 to 2005 it increased by (180-130)/130=50/130= 39%   Answer: 39 %.
