To calculate productivity, we need to divide the total number of cakes produced by the total number of hours worked. In 2006, the bakery produced 200 cakes per day with 5 bakers working 8 hours each, for a total of 5 x 8 = 40 bakers hours. In one day, the productivity was 200/40 = 5 cakes per baker hour. In 2007, the bakery produced 249 cakes per day with 6 bakers working 8 hours each, for a total of 6 x 8 = 48 bakers hours. In one day, the productivity was 249/48 = 5.1875 cakes per baker hour. The percentage increase in productivity between 2006 and 2007 is (5.1875- 5)/5 x 100% = 3.75%. Therefore, the answer is C - the productivity increased by 3.75% between 2006 and 2007.
