Question

A pizza shop wants to determine how often it delivers to three different areas of a city. The table shows the areas from a random sample of 80 deliveries.

Area of City - Number of deliveries
Nothern - 14
Central - 44
Southern - 22

Based on these data, if the driver makes 200 deliveries, how many deliveries will be to the southern area of the city?

Answer 2

55 Southern deliveries.

Explanation:

Let's make a ratio

Northern : Central : Southern : Total

14 : 44 : 22 : 80

7 : 22 : 11 : 40

35 : 110 : 55 : 200

We can see from our ratio, that there are 55 Southern deliveries when 200 deliveries are delivered.
