A local, marching band is having a pizza fundraiser to predict what type of pizza to order they surveyed patron on their favorite toppings. If the marching band were to sell 1299 slices of pizza, the number of cheese slices sold.
Let's say that 40% of the survey participants chose cheese as their favorite topping. To find out how many cheese slices would be sold, we would calculate:
1299 slices * 0.40 = 519 cheese slices
Therefore, the marching band would sell 519 cheese slices if they were to sell 1299 slices of pizza.
