Out of the students surveyed 45 said pizza, 15 said burritos, 30 said hamburgers, and 10 said hot dogs. Based upon the results, how many students out of the whole school should want the items listed? (Round to the nearest whole number.) Pizza: 225 Burritos: 75 Hamburgers: 150 Hot Dogs: 50 Pizza: 22500 Burritos: 7500 Hamburgers: 15000 Hot Dogs: 5000 Pizza: 125 Burritos: 125 Hamburgers: 125 Hot Dogs: 125 Pizza: 45 Burritos: 15 Hamburgers: 30 Hot Dogs: 10

Answer 1

Answer: Pizza: 225 Burritos: 75 Hamburgers: 150 Hot Dogs: 50

Explanation:

Since Sara asked 100 of the students for their favorite lunch but there are 500 students in a school, this means that the items listed will have to be multiplied by 5 (500/100) in order to get the number of students in the whole school that'll need the items listed. This will therefore be:

Pizza = 45 × 5 = 225

Burritos = 15 × 5 = 75

Hamburgers = 30 × 5 = 150

Hot dogs = 10 × 5 = 50

The correct option is A:

Pizza: 225 Burritos: 75 Hamburgers: 150 Hot Dogs: 50
