Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the total shoes sold by salesman A and D on Thursday.
From the table, A sold 96 and D sold 24, totaling 120 shoes.
Next, identify the number of shoes sold by salesman E on Saturday, which is 30.
To find the percentage increase, use the formula: ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) * 100.
Here, ((120 - 30) / 30) * 100 = (90 / 30) * 100 = 300%.
