The list below shows the different pizzas sold by noon at a local pizza shop.
Pepperoni: 11
Supreme: 7
Cheese: 6
Hawaiian: 3
Based on these results, if 189 pizzas were sold by the end of the day, how many pizzas could be expected to be cheese?
To find out the expected number of cheese pizzas sold, we need to first calculate the total number of pizzas sold for all types.
Total pizzas sold = 11 (Pepperoni) + 7 (Supreme) + 6 (Cheese) + 3 (Hawaiian) = 27
Next, we can find the proportion of pizzas sold that were cheese:
Cheese pizzas sold / Total pizzas sold = 6 / 27
To find out how many cheese pizzas would be expected if 189 pizzas were sold, we can set up a proportion:
Cheese pizzas expected / 189 = 6/27
Solving for Cheese pizzas expected:
Cheese pizzas expected = (189 * 6) / 27 = 42
Therefore, we can expect approximately 42 cheese pizzas to be sold by the end of the day if 189 pizzas were sold in total.
