To find the sales for Anshu store in 1995, we apply the percentage changes successively to the 1993 sales figure of 8 lakhs. Step 1: Calculate sales for 1994. The store saw a 10 percent increase. 10 percent of 8 lakhs is 0.8 lakhs. So, sales in 1994 were 8 plus 0.8 which equals 8.8 lakhs. Step 2: Calculate sales for 1995.
