You are a delivery manager at Blue Bag, a wholesale bakery. The bakery employs two drivers and owns two trucks. Each truck can deliver up to 225 crates of bread per day. The bakery has standing orders for 400 crates a day. As the increasing of your sales, you hire 4 more drivers and own 1 more truck with 2 shifts. Find the increasing percentages to fit with the hires.

Respuesta :

The maximum number of orders the bakery can receive is 675 per day and the percentage of increase is 50%

Taking into account that each truck has a maximum capacity of 225 boxes of bread and that the bakery has 3 trucks. To find the maximum order capacity, multiply the number of boxes of bread by the number of trucks:

  • 225 × 3 = 675

To know what the percentage of increase in the bakery order capacity is, the maximum capacity must be known before acquiring the last truck (450).

Subsequently, to know the percentage of growth with a new truck with respect to the previous capacity, it is necessary to carry out the following operation:

  • 225 × 100 = 22500
  • 22500/450 = 50

According to the above, 225 corresponds to 50% out of 450, that is, the growth in the bakery's order capacity was 50%.
