Question

The owner of a deli recorded the number of customers who ordered each of four sandwiches available. If the deli has 50 customers the first hour it is open, predict how many customers will order turkey sandwiches.

Sandwich #of customers
Ham 160
Cheese 100
Turkey 180
Veggie 60

Please show your work. Thank you!!!

Answer 1

Multiply the number of customers with the ratio of turkey sandwiches sold by the total number sold...

50(180/(160+100+180+60))

50(180/500)=18

Answer 2

160+100+180+60=500
180/500=0.36=36%
50x36%=18
That's your answer lovely~
