Question

Each morning, Stacey makes 20 cinnamon bagels for his customers at Barney's Bagels. Because of a recent increase in the popularity of cinnamon bagels, she has increased the number she bakes each morning by 80%. How many cinnamon bagels does Stacey now bake each day?

Answer 1

Answer: Stacey now bakes 36 cinnamon bagels.

Explanation:

Given: Each morning, Stacey makes 20 cinnamon bagels.

She has increased the number she bakes each morning by 80%.

Number of cinnamon bagels Stacey bake = 20+80% of 20

= 20+ (0.80)x 20 [To remove % , divide number by 100, So 80%=0.08]

= 20+16 [(0.80)x 20=16 ]

= 36

Hence, Stacey now bakes 36 cinnamon bagels.
