Answer 1

(a) The pizzeria must sell 72 pizzas for employees to receive the bonus.

(b) There was a 10% increase in the sales of pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pizzas sold yesterday = 60

(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?

Expected increase = 20% from yesterday

$Expected\ increase=\frac{20}{100}*60\\\\Expected\ increase= \frac{1200}{100} = 12$

Total pizzas to be sold = Pizzas sold yesterday + expected increase

Total pizzas to be sold = 60+12 = 72

The pizzeria must sell 72 pizzas for employees to receive the bonus.

(b) 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.

Old value = 60

New value = 66

Difference = New value - Old value

Difference = 66 - 60 = +6

The positive sign indicates that it is a increase.

Percent increase = $\frac{Difference}{Old\ value}*100$

Percent increase = $\frac{6}{60}*100 = \frac{600}{60}$

Percent increase = 10%

There was a 10% in the sales of pizzas.
