Izzo's Pizza sells four types of pizza crust. Last week, the owner tracked the number sold of each type, and this is what he found.
Type of Crust:
Thin crust
Thick crust
Stuffed crust
Pan style
Number Sold:
424
224
220
192
Based on this information, of the next 5000 pizzas he sells, how many should he expect to be thin crust? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
To find the proportion of thin crust pizzas sold, we divide the number of thin crust pizzas sold by the total number of pizzas sold:
Proportion of thin crust = (Number of thin crust pizzas sold) / (Total number of pizzas sold)
Proportion of thin crust = 424 / (424 + 224 + 220 + 192)
Proportion of thin crust ≈ 0.444
Now, we can find the expected number of thin crust pizzas out of the next 5000 pizzas by multiplying the proportion with 5000:
Expected number of thin crust pizzas = 0.444 * 5000
Expected number of thin crust pizzas ≈ 2220
Therefore, he should expect approximately 2220 thin crust pizzas out of the next 5000 pizzas he sells.
