Question
A pizza parlor owner knows they sell 3 slices of cheese pizza out of 20 total slices sold. Predict how any slices of cheese pizza will be sold if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week.
To predict how many slices of cheese pizza will be sold if 5,680 total slices are sold in a week, we can first calculate the ratio of cheese pizza slices to total slices in the original data.
3 slices of cheese pizza out of 20 total slices = 3/20
Next, we can use this ratio to calculate how many slices of cheese pizza will be sold out of 5,680 total slices:
(3/20) * 5,680 = 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.
