Question

The following menu items were ordered at a pizza parlor on Friday. 3 salads, 8 pizzas, 4 sides of breadsticks, and 5 pepperoni calzones, What is the amount of breadsticks and calzone orders the pizza parlor should expect if there were 100 total orders?

Answer 1

Using proportions, the pizza parlor should expect 20 breadsticks and 25 calzone orders if there were 100 total orders.

Explanation:

Orders:

Salads 3

Pizzas 8

Sides of breadsticks 4

Pepperoni calzones 5

Total orders: 20

Proportion of sides breadsticks=4/20=0.2

Proportion of pepperoni calzones=5/20=0.25

For 100 total orders:

Sides of breadsticks=0.2(100)=20

Pepperoni calzones=0.25(100)=25
