Please help me. A local pizzeria sold 65 pizzas yesterday.
A. The owner offers the employees a bonus if the number of pizzas increased by 20% today. How many pizzas must they sell to receive the bonus? Explain your reasoning.
if you multiply the number of pizzas sold yesterday by 1.2 this gives you the number sold today because the number multiplied by 0.2 is the same as 20% of the number. add this to the original number and you make 1.2 or 120%.
65 × 1.2 = 78
the employees must sell 78 pizzas to get the bonus
