From the graph it is given that percentage change from 2006 to 2007 is +17%,so i took the starting point as 2006.What ever may be the starting year you can take initial number for percentage prob as 100(good practice) and then add the increase/decrease percentage to it. For problems of this sort first try to calculate all the values required from the graph given and then go for the question and apply the values. Hope this makes sense.

shuayjye, Consider in 2006 dollar amount sale was 100. 2007-->17% increase so it becomes 117. 2008-->8% decrease so 117 becomes 107.64(92% of 117) Finally they are asking for 117 is what % of 107.64 100*117/107.64 = 108.695=108.7

Can you post the complete question please?

How many positive integers less than 10,000 are there in which the sum of the digits equals 5? (A) 31 (B) 51 © 56 (D) 62 (E) 93

little algebra helped me to get the answer. Let L be the cost of large can M=number of medium sized can. S=number of small sized can. then 5M=7S=L 200 medium sized can costs 5*200=$1000.(where 5 is cost of each medium sized can) deriving the equation which says -"customer buys an equal number of small and large cans of tomatoes for th eexact amount of money that would buy 200 medium cans". 5M+7S=1000;solve for M and S by plugging in the given options for S. S=35 is the answer.Let me know if i am correct.

Thanks apo!! Need some light on the below prob as well.Any shortcut to solve? a merchant sells 3 diff sizes of canned tOMATOES. A large can costs as much as 5 medium cans or 7 small cans.
