A bakery employs 120 bakers. 20 of them receive a pastry‑making training that increases their daily output by 12%. If the original daily output of each baker is 50 loaves, what is the bakery’s total increase in daily output due to the training?
Answer
120 loaves
The correct answer is 120 loaves — Multiply by number of trained bakers: 20 × 6 = 120 loaves (total increase).
Step-by-step solution
- Compute increase per trained baker: 12% of 50 = 6 loaves (increase per baker).
- Multiply by number of trained bakers: 20 × 6 = 120 loaves (total increase).
Common mistake: Applying percentage increase to total output instead of per baker
Concept tested: Training boosts productivity
