1. A local pizzeria sold 65 pizzas yesterday. (step 1) The owner offers the employees a bonus if the number of pizzas sold increases by 20% today. How many pizzas must the pizzeria sell for employees to receive the bonus? Explain your reasoning.

(Part 2) Suppose the actual number of pizzas sold today was 60. Describe the number of pizzas sold as a percent increase or decrease, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Show your work.

Part 1

Pizzas sold last day = 65

Increasement needed in sale = 20%

pIzzas to be sold today

= 65 + 20% of 65

= 65 + 20/100 × 65

= 65 + 1/5 × 65

= 65 + 1/1 × 13

= 65 + 13

= 78

Part 2

Pizzas sold last day = 65

Pizzas sold today = 60

60 = 65 + x% of 65

60 = 65 + x/100 × 65

60 - 65 = x/20 × 13

- 5 = x/20 × 13

-5/13 = x/20

-5/13 × 20 = x

-7.692 = x

Therefore, there was a decrease in pizza sale by 7.692%

By rounding off,

The decrease in pizza sale was by 7.700%.

= 7.7%

answer: no, but if it does it's a obvious pattern.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
