a.33 percent.
b.50 percent.
c.67 percent.
d.25 percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Change in productivity will be 50%

So option (b) will be correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that it takes 8 hour to bake 800 pretzels

And there is a shift of 8 hours

So hourly production = $\frac{800}{8} =100$

Now the production is increases to 1200

Now hourly production = $\frac{1200}{8}=150$

So change in productivity  = $\frac{150-100}{100}=50$ %

So option (b) will be correct answer
