Based on the survey results, it can be predicted that Cheese was the most popular topping among the patrons. Therefore, the number of cheese slices sold can be estimated by calculating the percentage of patrons who prefer cheese and applying that percentage to the total number of slices sold.
Cheese: 9 out of (9+5+6+7) = 9 out of 27 = 1/3 of patrons prefer cheese topping
Estimating the number of cheese slices sold:
1/3 of 1,299 slices = 1/3 * 1,299 = 433 slices of cheese pizza sold
Therefore, it is estimated that 433 slices of cheese pizza will be sold.
