Question

1. A local pizzeria sold 65 pizzas yesterday. (a) The owner offers the employees a bonus if the number of pizzas sold increases by 20% today. How many pizzas must the pizzeria sell for employees to receive the bonus? Explain your reasoning. (b) Today the pizzeria sold 60 pizzas. What is the percent increase or decrease of pizzas sold from yesterday to today? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show your work

Answer 1

I think the answer is

65 + 0.20(65) = 65 + 13 = 78..they would have to sell 78 to get the bonus

(65 - 60) / 65 = 5/65 = 0.0769 x 100 = 7.69 rounds to 7.7 % decrease compared to the 65 pizza's sold yesterday

Not completely sure though, but
