There was a 25 percent or 25% increase in sales.

Explanation:

The formula for determining the percent change in two values over time is:

p = (N - O)/O*100p=NOO100

Where pp is the percent change, NN is the New Value and OO is the Old Value. In this problem we are given the New Value (60) and the Old Value (48) which we can substitute into the formula to calculate pp:

p = (60 - 48)/48*100p=604848100

p = 12/48*100p=1248100

p = 1/4*100p=14100

p = 100/4p=1004

p = 25p=25
