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

The number of additional sandwiches is 15.

If we multiply 75 sandwiches by 0.2 (20%), then we get 15, which would be the number of sandwiches needed to be sold to meet the sales goal.

Hope this helped.
