Question

A local target store bought 122 pizzas at pizza hut for its holiday party. each guest ate 1/4 of a pizza and there was no pizza left over. how many guests did target have for the party?

Answer 1

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.

We have then:

x: total number of pizzas

y: amount of pizza eaten by each guest

Therefore, the total number of guests is given by:

`N = (x)/(y)`

Substituting values we have:

`N = (122)/((1)/(4))`

Rewriting we have:

`N = 122 * 4`

`N = 488`

Answer:

The total number of guests is equal 488.
