Using the data in Extract A, calculate the change in value of sugar-free sweets sales predicted between 2018 and 2023 - Edexcel - A-Level Business - Question 1 - 2022 - Paper 1

From the graph, the projected sales revenue for 2023 is £2,734 million. Thus, the sales from sugar-free sweets in 2023 is:

$$ext{Sales from sugar-free sweets} = 5\% \text{ of } 2,734 \text{ million} = \frac{5}{100} \times 2,734 = 136.70 \text{ million}$$

The change in the value of sugar-free sweets sales from 2018 to 2023 is:

$$ext{Change} = 136.70 - 71.64 = 65.06 \text{ million}$$

Therefore, the change in sales predicted between 2018 and 2023 is £65.06 million.
