Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is 360. I took the test.

Answer 2

360 burgers will be sold by the food truck.

Explanation:

In the given samples of two days we find that out of 100 customers 35 customers purchased Burgers on day 1 and on day 2 out of 100 customers 45 bought burgers.

So total customers who purchased burgers = 35 + 45 = 80 out of 200 customers.

Total percentage of these customers = (80/200)×100 = 40%

Now out of 900 customers sales of burger will be = (900×40)/100 = 360

Therefore 360 burgers will be sold by the food truck.
