Explanation / Answer

Focusing on the demand for the season : Fall ----> (Since that's what the question asks)

In the past 2 years, 200 and 240 radials were sold in Fall amounting to a total of 1000 radials each of the two years.

Let's take an average of 200 and 240 radials to help us predict fall demand. (We can do this because there were 1000 radials sold both the two years)

Average = 220 for a total of 1000 radials

Therefore ----> (Ratio of seasonal demand to total demand should be equal)

220/1000 = R/1200

R = 220 x 1200 / 1000 = 264

Answer: Therefore, the demand for Fall based on the current trend is 264 radials.

Cheers!
