I'LL FAN AND MEDAL. A local pizzeria sold 65 pizzas yesterday. 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? [Already got the answer to this. Just thought it might help if yall had the whole thing.] 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.

OpenStudy (yowarning):

idk what its asking

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

I believe it's a percent decrease of 7.69

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

Im not 100% sure tho

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

@likeabossssssss @MaThNeRdZ

OpenStudy (yowarning):

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

@3mar

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

I mean im not 100% it is 7.69 xD

OpenStudy (yowarning):

oh lol

OpenStudy (yowarning):

i think i might be higher

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

I said this is it right?: The number of pizzas sold is a percent decrease of 7.69. The first number of pizzas sold was 65 and the second number is 60 so that means it went down by 7.69%.

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

The first number of pizzas sold was 65 and the second number is 60 so that means it went down. And it went down by 7.69%.*

OpenStudy (yowarning):

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

I really think it's 7.69

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

I got it twice two different ways. Im just not sure.

OpenStudy (yowarning):

7.68% of 65 is 4.99

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

7.69* and okie..that's gotta be the answer then

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

4.99 is 0.01 away from 5

OpenStudy (yowarning):

but 7.7 percent of 65 is 5.005

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

and it 60 & 65

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

you said 7.68% of 65 is 4.99 but i said 7.69..which probably means it goes up one..which probably means 7.69 is the correct answer :P

OpenStudy (alayrhi):

Well thank yall for yalls help! Im going to go with 7.69. I believe in the answer. So fingers crossed!

OpenStudy (yowarning):
