A local pizzeria sold 55 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 a bonus? explain your reasoning.
The answer is 66 for the total plus the bonus, the bonus equals 11 pizzas. It is because 55 x (1+20%)= 66 and 11. Meaning 55 pizzas times 1 + 20% equals 66, so it means that the bonus was 11 pizzas and the total that day is 66.
