Answer 2

Answer:

16

Explanation:

In this question, we learn that the employee has made 45 sales. However, we know that the person wants to increase the sales by 35%. Therefore, we need to know what 35% of 45 is:

45*0.35= 15.75

If we round this number up, we obtain 16. The employee has to make another 16 sales in order to reach his goal (45+16 = 61).
