1. A local pizzeria sold 65 pizzas yesterday. (step 1) 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.

(Part 2) Suppose the actual number of pizzas sold today was 60. Describe the number of pizzas sold as a percent increase or decrease, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Show your work.

Part 1

Pizzas sold last day = 65

Increasement needed in sale = 20%

pIzzas to be sold today

= 65 + 20% of 65

= 65 + 20/100 × 65

= 65 + 1/5 × 65

= 65 + 1/1 × 13

= 65 + 13

= 78

Part 2

Pizzas sold last day = 65

Pizzas sold today = 60

60 = 65 + x% of 65

60 = 65 + x/100 × 65

60 - 65 = x/20 × 13

- 5 = x/20 × 13

-5/13 = x/20

-5/13 × 20 = x

-7.692 = x

Therefore, there was a decrease in pizza sale by 7.692%

By rounding off,

The decrease in pizza sale was by 7.700%.

= 7.7%

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
