Fred has a bakery. He sells 40 cakes in a day. If his sales increased by 120%, how many cakes would he sell in a day?

To get the result we have to find 120% of 40 and add it to normal sells. so 120% of 40 = 1.2*40=48 Now I can add 120% of 40 to normal sells 48+40=88 - its our result

If Fred's cake sales increase by 120%, we need to calculate the new number of cakes he would sell. To do this, we first find 120% of the original 40 cakes that he sells, which involves converting the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 (120% = 1.2) and multiplying it by the original amount. So 1.2 times 40 equals 48. This is the increase in sales.
Then, we add this increased amount to the original sales in order to find the new total sales. Therefore, 40 cakes + 48 cakes (increase) equals 88 cakes. So, if Fred's sales increased by 120%, he would sell 88 cakes in a day.

If Fred sells 40 cakes a day and his sales increase by 120%, he will sell a total of 88 cakes in a day. This is calculated by finding 120% of 40 and adding that to the original sales. Therefore, Fred would sell 88 cakes per day after the increase.
