Izzo's Pizza sells four types of pizza crust. Last week, the owner tracked the number sold of each type, and this is what she found.
Type of Crust Number Sold
Thin crust 273
Thick crust 327
Stuffed crust 180
Pan style 195
Based on this information, of the next 4000 pizzas she sells, how many should she expect to be thin crust? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
pizzas
To calculate what percentage of the total sales each type of crust represents, we first need to find the total number of pizzas sold last week:
Total = 273 + 327 + 180 + 195 = 975
Next, we calculate the percentage of thin crust pizzas sold:
Thin crust percentage = (273 / 975) * 100 = 27.9%
Finally, we use this percentage to estimate how many thin crust pizzas out of the next 4000 she should expect to sell:
Expected thin crust pizzas = 27.9% of 4000 = 0.279 * 4000 = 1116
Therefore, she should expect to sell approximately 1116 thin crust pizzas out of the next 4000.
wrong answer
Apologies for the error. Let's recalculate the expected number of thin crust pizzas based on the given data.
From the information provided:
Number of thin crust pizzas sold = 273
Total number of pizzas sold = 975 (273 + 327 + 180 + 195)
To find the percentage of thin crust pizzas:
Percentage of thin crust pizzas = (273 / 975) * 100 ≈ 27.9%
Using this percentage to estimate the number of thin crust pizzas out of the next 4000:
Expected number of thin crust pizzas = 27.9% of 4000 ≈ 0.279 * 4000 ≈ 1116
Therefore, she should expect to sell approximately 1116 thin crust pizzas out of the next 4000.
