Solution

Step 1: Understand the problem. The problem is asking for the number of lamps that Bright Idea shipped this year, which is 72% more than the number of lamps they shipped last year.

Step 2: Identify the given values. The number of lamps shipped last year is given as 9500.

Step 3: Calculate the increase in the number of lamps shipped this year. To do this, multiply the number of lamps shipped last year by 72% (or 0.72 in decimal form). So, 9500 * 0.72 = 6840.

Step 4: Add the increase to the number of lamps shipped last year to find the total number of lamps shipped this year. So, 9500 + 6840 = 16340.

Therefore, Bright Idea shipped 16340 lamps this year.
