Answer:

The number of pizzas sold during A- lunch is 64

Explanation:

Let us solve the question using the ratio method

∵ The ratio of pizza to nachos sold during A-lunch is 4 to 3

∵ There were 48 nachos sold

→ By using the ratio method

→ Pizza : Nachos

→ 4 : 3

→ x : 48

→ use the cross multiplication

∵ x × 3 = 4 × 48

3x = 192

→ Divide both sides by 3


(3x)/(3) =
(192)/(3)

x = 64

The number of pizzas sold during A- lunch is 64
