By how much would the total 3rd Party Bookings in 2004 have to be increased to generate the same revenue from web-based bookings as was made via the Direct Bookings route? (Assume the Total to Web-based bookings ratio remains the same for both routes).


Correct answer: C

Explanation
If the total to web-based bookings ratio remains the same, considering 3rd party booking, the ratio of 1:10 will remain constant.

205)

If the number of leads generated by Direct Mail in 2004 was half that generated by eMarketing in 2003, when eMarketing accounted for 80,000 leads, how many did Telemarketing generate in 2004?


Correct answer: B

Explanation
Leads generated by e marketing in 2003 = 80,000
Therefore leads generated by direct mail in 2004 = 40,000


Percentage of leads generated by direct mail in 2004 = 10%
Let total mail generated in 2004 be x Hence 10% of x = 40,000
X = 400,000
percentage generated by telemarketing = 40%
Therefore leads generated by telemarketing = 40% x 400,000
= 160,000
Alternatively
leads generated by telemarketing
leads generated by telemarketing = 40/10 x 40,000 =
160,000(This method is shorter and saves time).
