A pizza parlor owner knows they sell 3 slices of cheese pizza out of 20 total slices sold. Predict how many slices of cheese pizza will be sold if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week.
Based on the current ratio of 3 slices of cheese pizza out of 20 total slices sold, we can calculate the proportion of cheese pizza slices sold.
3 slices of cheese pizza / 20 total slices = x slices of cheese pizza / 5,680 total slices
Cross multiply to solve for x:
3 * 5,680 = 20 * x
17,040 = 20x
x = 17,040 / 20
x = 852
Therefore, if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week, they are predicted to sell approximately 852 slices of cheese pizza.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my calculation. Let's correct it:
If 3 out of 20 slices sold are cheese pizza, we can calculate the proportion of cheese pizza slices in the total.
3/20 = x/5680
Cross multiply to solve for x:
20x = 3 * 5680
20x = 17040
x = 17040 / 20
x = 852
Therefore, if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week, they are predicted to sell approximately 852 slices of cheese pizza.
