Question

Gary ordered 30 pizzas for a party. 60% of the pizzas have 12 slices each. The remaining 40% of the pizzas have 10 slices each. Complete the model. Then complete the statements to find the total number of slices of pizza

Answer 1

1) 18 pizza with 12 slices
2) 12 pizzas and with 10 slices
3) 336 slices of pizza

Answer 2

Statement #1:

Since there are 30 total pizzas then the amount of pizzas with 12 slices is 60% of 30 which is 18. Then you can multiply 18 by 12 to get the amount of slices in the large pizzas with 12 slices:

18 × 12 = 216

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

60% of the pizzas have 12 slices each. In total, there are 216 slices in these pizzas.

Statement #2

There are 12 remaining pizzas which means that 12 × 10 = 120 is the amount of slices in total of the smaller pizzas.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

40% of the pizzas have 10 slices each. In total, there are 120 slices in these pizzas.

Statement #3

To get the total amount of pizzas you simply add both of the previous solutions:

216 + 120 = 336

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Altogether, there is a total of 336 slices of pizza.
