The pie chart shown in Figure A-6 illustrates the favorite foods of a selected group of fiveyear- old children. A total of 5,280 children were polled in order to construct this chart. According to the information provided in the chart, how many children chose pizza
Shawn bought a home for $100,000. He put 20% down and obtained a mortgage for 30
years at 5½%. What is the total interest cost of the loan?
To determine the number of children who chose pizza according to the pie chart, we need to analyze the chart given in Figure A-6. Look for the portion of the pie that represents pizza. The size of this portion represents the proportion of children who chose pizza.
To determine the number of children, we need to find the percentage or fraction of the pie that corresponds to pizza and then multiply it by the total number of children polled.
Assuming the chart provides the percentage or fraction for each category, locate the portion of the pie labeled as pizza. Note the percentage or fraction associated with it. Let's say the pizza portion represents 30% of the pie.
Next, multiply this percentage or fraction by the total number of children polled, which is 5,280.
Mathematically, the calculation would look like:
Number of children who chose pizza = (Percentage or fraction of pizza portion) * (Total number of children polled)
For example:
Suppose the pizza portion represents 30% of the pie, you would calculate it as:
Number of children who chose pizza = 0.30 * 5,280
By multiplying 0.30 by 5,280, you would find the total number of children who chose pizza.
Please refer to the pie chart given in Figure A-6 to gather the percentage or fraction for the pizza category and perform the calculation as explained above to find the number of children who chose pizza.
