A restaurant offers a new promotion of 20% off the original price of cheese pizzas, which is $12. Before the promotion 250 pizzas were sold each day. After the promotion, the sale of pizza increases an average of 18% more per day.

I agree with Paraic. The question is terribly written out. I was
struggled at first because I thought $12 was the discounted price.
Therefore, it would make the original price $15.

This question format is terribly written out: The solution is as
follows: The new promotion is cheese pizza now at 20% off, ($12 x 0.80
= $9.6) There has been an increase of sales of 12% with new promotion,
Original offer was $12 at sales of 250 per day, (12 x 250 = $3000)
With new promo, 9.6 * (250 x 1.18) = $2832 Answer, Decrease in sales
by $168
