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 = [tex]\frac{20}{100}*60 = 12\ pizzas[/tex]
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 = [tex]\frac{Difference}{Pizzas\ sold\ yesterday}*100[/tex]
Increase percent = [tex]\frac{6}{60}*100 = \frac{600}{60}[/tex]
Increase percent = 10%
There is a 10% increase in the sales.
