If the Fun Family Restaurant predicts a 5 percent decrease in covers for May based on 5,000 covers in April, what will be the forecasted covers for May?

A. 5,500
B. 5,250
C. 5,005
D. 4,750

The correct answer is: D. 4,750

To calculate the forecasted covers for May based on a predicted decrease, you start with the covers for April, which is 5,000. A 5 percent decrease means you need to find 5 percent of 5,000 and then subtract that from the original number. First, calculate 5 percent of 5,000: 5% of 5,000 = 0.05 * 5,000 = 250 Now, subtract this decrease from the April covers: 5,000 - 250 = 4,750 Thus, the forecasted covers for May would be 4,750, reflecting the anticipated drop in customer volume. This calculation demonstrates how forecasting works within the context of the restaurant's operations and emphasizes the importance of using percentages to predict changes in business metrics effectively.
