Question

alonzo decides to have an even bigger party if he asks 40 more friends which theme each would choose, predict how many of these friends will choose the costume party

Answer 1

7 friends

Explanation:

We can start by finding the percentage of Alonzo's current friends who chose the Costume Party theme:

Costume Party percentage = (5/30) x 100% = 16.67%

We can then use this percentage to predict how many of the additional 40 friends will choose the Costume Party theme:

Number of new friends who choose Costume Party = (16.67/100) x 40 = 6.67

Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, we can round up to predict that 7 of the additional 40 friends will choose the Costume Party theme.

Therefore, we predict that 7 friends of the additional 40 friends will choose the Costume Party theme.
