Please help me. A local pizzeria sold 65 pizzas yesterday.

AThe 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.

Thank you in advance

Verified Answer :

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
