1. A local pizzeria sold 55 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) Suppose the actual number of pizzas sold today was 40. Describe the number of pizzas sold as a percent increase or decrease, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Show your work.

Answer 1

1. A 20% increase from 55 pizza is equal to 1.2*55 which is 66. The employees will get a bonus if they sell 66 pizzas.

2. Since 40 is less than 55, it is a decrease. The difference between 40 and 55 is 15. Then, divide 15 by 55 to get 27.27%.
