    (a) 2

    (b) 2.5

    (c) 25%

    Explanation:

    Productivity = Total output/total input

    (a) Total output = 16 ornaments

    Total input = 8 hours

    Productivity = 16/8 = 2

    (b) Total output = 20 ornaments

    Total input = 8 hours

    Productivity = 20/8 = 2.5

    (c) Percentage increase in productivity = (2.5 - 2) / 2 * 100 = 0.5/2 * 100 = 25%
