Rebecca asked the people in her homeroom class what their favorite type of pizza was. If 18

out of 25 people said pepperoni, how many people would you expect to choose pepperoni
out of 350 people?

Set it up in ratios and cross-multiply:
18/25 = x/350
(18)(350) = (25)(x)
6300 = 25x
Divide both sides by 25:
x = 252
