A pizza parlor sells 3 slices of pizza out of 20 total slices . Predict how many slices of pizza will be sold if he sells 5,680 total slices a week .
To predict the number of slices of pizza that will be sold if 5,680 total slices are sold in a week, we first need to calculate the ratio of slices sold to total slices in the initial scenario.
In the initial scenario, 3 slices are sold out of 20 total slices. This means that the ratio of slices sold to total slices is 3/20.
To predict how many slices will be sold if 5,680 total slices are sold, we can set up a proportion:
3/20 = x/5680
Cross multiply to solve for x:
3 * 5680 = 20x
17040 = 20x
Divide by 20 to solve for x:
x = 852
Therefore, if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week, they would be expected to sell approximately 852 slices of pizza.
