1 answer

To find out how many burgers Nick's Burgers would sell in a day after a 60% increase, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the increase in sales: \[ \text{Increase} = \text{Current Sales} \times \text{Percentage Increase} = 140 \times 0.60 = 84 \]

  2. Add the increase to the current sales: \[ \text{New Sales} = \text{Current Sales} + \text{Increase} = 140 + 84 = 224 \]

Therefore, after a 60% increase, Nick's Burgers would sell 224 burgers in a day.

The correct answer is C. 224.
