Answers

Answered by prasenjit20

20% of 400 =400*20/100=80
therefore
400-80=320

ganesh388: 80 is the Intuitive answer. But i found that answer is 100. Do not know how 100 came though?

Every day, a bakery sells 400 cookies. When the manager is not there, 20% of the cookies made that day are eaten by the staff. How many additional cookies should be made on the manager’s day off to ensure that 400 cookies can be sold? (Intuitive answers 80, 500; correct answers 100)

ganesh388: The answer is 100. Because to meet target of 400 additional 100 cookies to be made. In that 100 cookies again 20% (20) are eaten. So you get 320 + 80 = 400. So additional 100 cookies are to be made
