Question

You are planning a promotion that will feature breakfast sandwiches. Your store normally sells 75 breakfast sandwiches per week. The promotion is scheduled to last for one week. The stated goal is a sales increase of 20%. How many ADDITIONAL breakfast sandwiches must be sold in order to meet the sales increase goal?

Answer 1

Usually the store sells 75 breakfast sandwiches each week.

Now, during the promotion the target is to increase the sale by 20%.

Now, lets calculate 20% of 75 first. For that we need to use the following formula:

a% of b =
`(a)/(100) * b`

Using the formula above, we get:

20% of 75 =
`(20)/(100) * 75=15`

So, we need 15 more sandwiches for the week of promotion:

So, 15 ADDITIONAL breakfast sandwiches must be sold in order to meet the sales increased goal.
