Question

Paul's Pizza sells pizza by the slice for lunch. An employee recorded how many slices of each type of pizza were sold today. pepperoni 44 cheese 15 supreme 29 Considering this data, how many of the first 76 slices sold during lunch tomorrow should you expect to be slices of pepperoni pizza?

Answer 1

To find out how many of the first 76 slices sold during lunch tomorrow should be pepperoni pizza, we can use the information provided about the proportion of pepperoni pizza slices sold today. We can use the following formula to calculate the expected proportion:

(number of pepperoni slices / total number of slices) * 100

Plugging in the numbers we have:

(44 / (44 + 15 + 29)) * 100 = 44 / 88 * 100 = 50%.

So we can expect 50% of the first 76 slices sold during lunch tomorrow to be pepperoni pizza slices, which is equivalent to:

76 slices * 50% = 38 slices

Therefore, we expect 38 of the first 76 slices sold during lunch tomorrow should be slices of pepperoni pizza.
