Refer to the bookstore sales circle graph. How much more money was spent on Apparel (\(25\%\)) than on Electronics (\(10\%\)) if total sales are \(\$40,000\)?
Correct Answer
$6,000
Explanation
First find the difference in percentages: \(25\% - 10\% = 15\%\). Then calculate \(15\%\) of the \(\$40,000\) total sales base: \(0.15 \times \$40,000 = \$6,000\).
