Question

Nicole's Pie Shop recently sold 26 pies, of which 13 were chocolate cream pies. Considering this data, how many of the next 54 pies sold should you expect to be chocolate cream pies

Answer 1

27 pies

Explanation:

looking at the data we see that for every 26 pies sold, 13 (half) were chocoltae cream pies.

26 divided by 2 = 13

from this we can tell that if she were to sell 54 pies, half of sales would be chocolate, meaning 54 divided by 2

54/2 = 27 pies
