During the month of may sells of tires in a diesel repair shop total $24,890 a 4.9% increase is expected for June what is the forecast total tire sales for June?

May = $24,890

May can be described as 100% (the starting amount)

We are increasing this amount by 4.9%

100% + 4.9% = 104.9%

We want a number that we can multiply by the original amount to get the new value

To turn a percentage into a multiplier, we divide by 100

104.9 / 100 = 1.049

Now, multiply 1.049 by the May sales to get the expected amount for June

$24,890 x 1.049 = $26,109.61

Expected Sales in June = $26,109.61
