Problem Solving (PS) | Re: Last year 12.6 percent of the total value of all merchandise sold by

Simple Approach

First thing to ask yourself; 7.2m is 12.6% of what number (x)? Since the question says approximate, let us round the numbers to 7m & 13%.

So, back to our Q --> 7=13/100(x) --> x≈53.

We already know 7 of that 53 is the stores own brand, the question asks for the rest of the amount excluding the stores brand.

So, 53-7 = 46

The closest option to 46 is 50, answer D.
