Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percentage change in sales of e-books between Year 1 and Year 3, we need to calculate the percent increase from Year 1 to Year 3 using the formula:

Percent increase = ((New value - Old value) / Old value) x 100

In this case, the old value is the sales of e-books in Year 1 and the new value is the sales of e-books in Year 3. So:

Percent increase = ((360,000 - 78,000) / 78,000) x 100 = 360.9%

Therefore, the answer is choice C, 360.9%.
