Justin Rivera · Answer 1

They have to sell a total of 94 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

%30/%100 = x/72 Cross multiply this to get 2160=100x.

Divide 2160 by 100 to get 21.6. The pizza place has to sell 22 more pizzas today (as you can't sell a 6th of a pizza) which is equivalent to 94 pizzas.

65 + 0.20 (65) = 65 + 13 = 78 ... they would have to sell 78 to get the bonus

(65 - 60) / 65 = 5/65 = 0.0769 x 100 = 7.69 rounds to 7.7 % decrease compared to the 65 pizza's sold yesterday
