Question

A pie company randomly surveys 60 customers to determine which type of pie they would purchase.The results of the Survey are shown:25% Peach33 1/2% Apple20% OtherAnd Cherry ?The Company expects to sell 65 pies in March. Based on the Survey results, how many whole peach pies should the company expect to sell in March

Answer 1

Since we have to consider the results, we can just apply the percentage of Peach to the total 65 pies and round to the whole pies.

To apply 25%, we multiply by 0.25:

`65\cdot0.25=16.25`

This is 16 and 1 quarter, but we want just the whole pies, so the answer is 16 whole pies.
