Explanation:

Answer 2

1 pizza

Explanation:

Of the pizzas recently sold at Pizza Pies, 10 had pepperoni and 2 did not.

This means, the total number of pizzas sold is

10 pepperoni + 2 pizzas without pepperoni = 12 pizzas

Hence, the number of 6 pizzas that would be sold without pepperoni is calculated as:

From the above question,

12 pizzas = 2 pizza without pepperoni

6 pizzas = x

Cross Multiply

12 pizzas × x = 6 Pizzas × 2 pizza without pepperoni

x = 6 Pizzas × 2 pizza without pepperoni/12 pizzas

x = 1 pizza without pepperoni

Therefore, 1 pizza would not have pepperoni out of 6 pizzas sold
