A company's sales in Seattle were \( \$ 410,000 \) in 2012 , while their sales in Portland were \( \$ 265,000 \) for the same year. Complete the following statements: a. Seattle's sales were larger than Portland's. b. Portland sales were smaller than Seattle's. c. Portland sales were of Seattle's. Give answers accurate to at least one decimal place.

To complete the statements, we need to compare the sales figures for Seattle and Portland. 1. **Seattle's sales**: \( S = 410,000 \) 2. **Portland's sales**: \( P = 265,000 \) Now, let's analyze each statement: a. **Seattle's sales were larger than Portland's.** - This statement is true because \( 410,000 > 265,000 \). b. **Portland sales were smaller than Seattle's.** - This statement is also true because \( 265,000 < 410,000 \). c. **Portland sales were of Seattle's.** - To express this mathematically, we can find the ratio of Portland's sales to Seattle's sales: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{P}{S} = \frac{265,000}{410,000} \] Now, let's calculate this ratio. \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{265,000}{410,000} = 0.6463414634146342 \] Rounding this to one decimal place gives us \( 0.6 \). Thus, we can complete the statements as follows: a. Seattle's sales were larger than Portland's. (True) b. Portland sales were smaller than Seattle's. (True) c. Portland sales were \( 0.6 \) of Seattle's.
