At a toy shop, 45 toys were sold in September. A bonus will be given to workers if they can increase sales by 40% in October. How many toys must the sales team sell in October to receive the bonus?

First off, we can find the number that has to be increased by multiplying the original amount by 40%:

45×40%

=45×0.4

=18

We can then add the above amount to the original amount to find the toys they must sell:

45+18

=63

They must sell 63 toys to get the bonus.

Alternatively:

The total percenrage of toys need to be sold to get a bonus with the 40% increase:

=100%+40%

=140%

The amount of toys:

=45×1.4

=63

Therefore the answer is 63.

Hope it helps!
