    Solution

    Total sales of Nike in 2018 = 110% of 62000 = 68200 Total sales of Nike in Chandigarh = 23% of 128% of 62,000 = 18252.8 Sales of Nike in Jaipur = 15% of 121% of 62000 = 11253 Thus, total new sales in Chandigarh and Jaipur = 18252.8 + 11253 = 29505.8 units   290506units Previous overall sales in all cities except Chandigarh and Jaipur = 62% of 62000 = 38440 Therefore, required increase in sale in other cities = (68200 – 29506)–38440 = 254
