(B) Suppose the actual number of pizzas sold today was 66. Describe the number of pizzas sold as a percent increase or decrease. Show your work!

Answer:

(A) The pizzeria needs to sell 90 pizzas to receive the bonus.

(B) It would be a 12% decrease then the original amount of pizzas sold which is 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)- You convert 20% into a decimal which is 0.20 then multiply it to 75 to find out how many more pizzas need to be sold for them to receive the bonus. In this case it was 15. Then you add it to the 75 and you get 90. So the pizzeria needs to sell 90 pizzas for them to receive their bonus.

(B)- First you see if it was an increase or decrease. In this case it was a decrease because it dropped from 75 to 66. Now you calculate by how much it had dropped. Here it dropped by t9. Now to find the percent on how much it dropped you divide 9 by 75 and you get 0.12. Then you multiply by 100 to get your percentage with is 12%. So the number of pizzas sold today would show as a 12% decrease.

If you can make my answer the brainliest that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
