Izzo's Pizza sells four types of pizza crust. Last week, the owner tracked the number sold of each type, and this is what he found. Type of Crust Number Sold

Thin crust 307

Thick crust 224

Stuffed crust 161

Pan style 191

Based on this information, of the next 2000 pizzas he sells, how many should he expect to be stuffed crust or pan style? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.

Answer:

797

Explanation:

First, we need to find the number of pizzas sold last week by finding the sum of the pizzas sold:

307 + 224 + 161 + 191 = 883

Next, we need to find the proportion of stuffed crust and pan style pizzas sold last week by adding the number of both sold and dividing by the total number of pizzas sold:

(191+161) / 883 = 352 / 883

Now we need to multiply this proportion by 2000 to find the expected number of stuffed crust or pan style pizzas:

(352 / 883) * 2000 = 797.28 = 797
