Question

Last week a pizza restaurant sold 36 cheese pizzas, 64 pepperoni pizzas, and 20 veggie pizzas. based on this data, which number is closest to the probability that

the next customer will buy a cheese pizza

Answer 1

Answer ≈ 30%

Explanation:

To find the probability that the next customer will buy a cheese pizza, we need to know the total number of pizzas sold:

• Total number of pizzas sold = 36 + 64 + 20
• Total number of pizzas sold = 120

The probability of the next customer buying a cheese pizza can be calculated by dividing the number of cheese pizzas sold by the total number of pizzas sold:

• Probability of the next customer buying a cheese pizza = 36 ÷ 120
• Probability of the next customer buying a cheese pizza = 3 ÷ 10

We know that 3 divided by 10 is 0.3 recurring. We can round it to the nearest decimal place, which is 0.3. Now we can convert it to percentage, to do that, we can multiply it by 100:

• 0.3 × 100 = 30%

Therefore, the number that is closest to the probability that the next customer will buy a cheese pizza is 30%.
