Question

At a mall food court, the first 18 orders for the day are given below.

• 5 pizza slices
• 6 hamburgers
• 3 hot dogs
• 4 fried chicken

Based on this information, how many fried chicken orders could be expected from 225 customers?

Answer 1

let's focus solely on fried chicken.

So,

18 orders (18 customers) = 4 fried chickens

1 order = ( 4 ÷ 18 )

225 orders (225 customers) = ( 4 ÷ 18 ) × 225

= 50 fried chickens
