Question

Sarah randomly surveyed 80 students at her school. She found that 15 out of the 80 students she surveyed chose pizza as their favorite school lunch option. If there are 700 students at her school, predict how many students at her school would choose pizza as their favorite lunch option. If the answer you get is a decimal, how do you interpret that?

Answer 1

131

Explanation:

15/80 = x/700

80x = 10,500

x = 131.25

you cannot have 0.25 of a person so you must round down to the nearest integer
