From the data in the table, we can see that the number of chili dogs sold is 6, the number of Frito pies sold is 16, the number of hot dogs sold is 8, and the number of nachos sold is 10.
To predict what will happen on Friday, we need to make a reasonable assumption based on the given data.
A: The number of nachos sold will be half the number of Frito pies sold. This assumption is not supported by the data since the number of nachos sold is 10, which is not half of 16.
B: At least 25 hot dogs will be sold. We cannot make this assumption based on the data since the number of hot dogs sold is 8, which is less than 25.
C: The number of hot dogs sold will be 6 more than the number of chili dogs sold. This assumption is not supported by the data since the number of hot dogs sold is 8, which is not 6 more than 6.
D: The number of nachos sold will be 6 times the number of hot dogs sold. This assumption is not supported by the data since the number of nachos sold is 10, which is not 6 times 8.
None of the predictions are supported by the data in the table.
