Question

Pizza Paradise recently sold 15 pizzas, 5 of which were pepperoni pizzas. Consider this data, how many of the next 75 pizzas sold would you expect to be pepperoni pizzaas?

Answer 1

Set up a ratio:

5/15 = x/75

Cross multiply:

5 • 75 = 15x

Simplify:

375 = 15x

Solve for x:

375 / 15 = x

x = 25

25 pizzas.
