Question

A local pizzeria sold 60 pizzas yesterday.

Answer 1

Part One: The employees must sell 72 pizzas in order to receive bonus.

Part Two: There is a 10% increase in the sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pizzas sold yesterday = 60

(part one) 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?

Sales to increase = 20% of yesterday sales

Sales to increase = $\frac{20}{100}*60 = 12\ pizzas$

Total = Pizzas sold yesterday + Sales to increase

Total = 60+12 = 72 pizzas

The employees must sell 72 pizzas in order to receive bonus.

(part two) Suppose the actual number of pizzas sold today was 66. Describe the number of pizzas sold as a  percent increase or decrease, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Number of pizzas sold = 66

Difference = Pizzas sold today - Pizzas sold yesterday

Difference = 66-60 = +6

The positive sign indicates the increase in sales.

Increase percent = $\frac{Difference}{Pizzas\ sold\ yesterday}*100$

Increase percent = $\frac{6}{60}*100 = \frac{600}{60}$

Increase percent = 10%

There is a 10% increase in the sales.
