​​Considering this data, how many of the next 21 cupcakes sold would you expect to be pumpkin cupcakes?​

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

Knowing that

pumpkin = 6

Total =

​chocolate cupcakes 2 + ​pistachio cupcakes ​ 1 + ​banana cupcakes ​ 5 +​pumpkin cupcakes ​ 6

Thus, 2 + 1 + 5 + 6 = 14

Cross multiply

`(6)/(14)=(x)/(21)`

6 * 21 = 126

126/14 = 9
