Question

Last month Blake sold 40 pieces of jewelry. To get a bonus, she must sell 20% more jewelry this month. How many pieces of jewelry does she need to sell this month?

Answer 1

48 pieces of jewelry (if you're writing this out be sure to add units as some teachers are sticklers for that!)

Explanation:

20% of 40 is 8. This means she needs to sell 8 more than 40 this month. So, she must sell 48 pieces (40+8=48).

Hope this helps!
