A. 16
B. 17.5
C. 20.5
D. 22
E. 35

Sagot :

a:16
38/2=19
Then minus 3

The sales in million of dollar, for the first year is 16 million in dollars.

What are sales ?

"In general business operations, sales refer to any transactions where money or value is exchanged for the ownership of a good or entitlement to a service."

Given,

The sales for the third year is 38 million dollars.

Let the sales for the first year be x

and the sales for the second year be y

So, x+3 = y;

Sales for the third year = [tex]\ 2(x+3)[/tex]

[tex]\38 = 2(y)38 = 2(x+3)[/tex]

i.e. x = 16

Hence, option A is correct.
