Answer: 112.5 deserts
Explanation:
From the question, 200 customers buy 45 desserts. This means that 1 customer will buy 45/200 deserts which will be 0.225 deserts.
To get the desserts that will be sold to 500 people, we multiply the desert sold to one person which is 0.225 multiplied by 500. Mathematically, this will be:
= 0.225 Ă— 500
= 112.5 deserts
This means that 112.5 deserts will be sold to 500 people.
