Kneaders in Lehi sold 4,000 rolls at Thanksgiving time last year. This year, they expect a 22% increase in sales.

How many rolls will Kneaders in Lehi bake this Thanksgiving, rounded to the nearest whole roll?

Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kneaders in Lehi sold 4000 rolls last year and expects a 22% increase in sales this year, the number of rolls they will bake this Thanksgiving can be calculated as follows:

Calculate the 22% increase in sales:

22% of 4000 = 0.22 x 4000 = 880

Add the increase to last year's sales to get the total expected sales this year:

4000 + 880 = 4880

Therefore, Kneaders in Lehi will bake approximately 4880 rolls this Thanksgiving rounded to the nearest whole roll.

Answer:

4,880 rolls, see explanation below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.22(4000)= 4,880

and you instantly get your answer.

if you don't understand I basically did 1.22 times 4000 and got 4,880.

Formula: X + %increase/decrease x orginal amount/amount sold last year of rolls, (we can assume there is an invisible 1 in front of the x)

Basically Everything Behind This, Kind of (sorry I'm not the best explainer! :( ;

Here in this case 22% as a decimal is 0.22, how we get to a decimal from a percent: 22 divided by a 100= 0.22. and we got the decimal for 22%!

So X + 0.22= 1.22, and remember the X has an invisible 1 in front of it. so 1 + 0.22= 1.22 in other words.

Now the other value we have is 4000, so we multiply it by 1.22 and get 4,880. And this is how we got to our answer.
