Beth made 50 bookshelves. Tomorrow, she will make 110% of this number. How many bookshelves will Beth make tomorrow? A. 55 B. 60 C. 105 D. 16

Answer 1

A. 55

10% of 50 = 5

5+50 = 55

110% of 50 = 1.1(50) = 55

D is obviously wrong. If she makes more tomorrow, 16 can't be right as 16<50

B is more but 20% more. 60-50 = 10. 10/50 = .2 = 20%

C is interesting 105. 110% = 55. 55+50 =105. This would be correct, if the problem had said she makes 110% more tomorrow than she made today.
