Question

A restaurant offers three types of meats: chicken, beef,

and pork. The waiters surveyed 50 customers at random
about their favorite type of meat. The results are listed in
the table and on the graph below. If the restaurant
orders 400 pieces of meat, how many pieces should be
chicken?

Answer 1

200

Explanation:

If the waiters surveyed 50 customers and half of the customer's favorite meat was chicken, then if 400 pieces of meat were ordered 200 pieces should be chicken.

If
`(50)/(chicken)` =
`(50)/(25)` =
`(1)/(2)`, then
`(400)/(chicken)` =
`(400)/(2)` =
`2`

I hope that makes sense :)
