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).

If eMarketing generated 100,000 leads in 2004 (an increase of 25% from 2003), how many leads
were generated by Newspaper Advertising in 2003?
 

 


Correct answer: B

Explanation
Leads generated by e-marketing in 2003 = (100% - 25%) x 100,000
= 75,000
Therefore leads generated by newspaper advertising in 2003
= (17.5%/25%) x 75,000 = 52,500
Alternatively
25% of x = 75,000
X = (75,000 x 100)/25
= 300,000
Since newspaper advertising for   013 = 17.5%
=> 17.5/100 x 300,000 = 52,500

If Direct Mail generated 27,200 leads in 2003, how many were generated by Radio Advertising
that year?


Correct answer: D

Explanation
% of direct mail = 8.5

Let total amount of lead generated = x
8.5% of x = 27200
X = 320,000
Radio advertising equals 10% of total leads generated
= 20% of 320,000 = 64,000.
