From 2005 to 2006, by what percent did the sales of Company A increase?
(1) In 2005, the sales for Company A were 1/4 of the sales of Company B.
(2) In 2006, the sales for Company A were 3/4 of the sales of Company B.
I thought I had the right answer to this problem, but I was wrong. Can someone please explain
I shall post the answer after a few replies
Thanks

hi
seems like E
(1) if in 2005 the sales in B were X, sales in A were (1/4)*x insuff
(2) if in 2006 the sales in B were x1. sales in A were (3/4)*x1
eveb together it is impossible to know
(3/4)*x1-(1/4)*x-? at least we need to know the ratio between x and x1
