Answer 1

Answer: 840 people

Explanation:

They surveyed 40 people in total and out of those 40, 21 said that sausage pizza was their favorite pizza.

The percentage of people who prefer sausage pizza is therefore:

= 21/40 * 100%

= 52.5 %

If there are 1,600 people in the festival and we assume that the sample is a representation of the people there, the estimated number of people who prefer sausage pizza will be:

= 52.5% * 1,600

= 840 people
