Question

Fifty students were surveyed in the school cafeteria and 12 students said that their favorite lunch food was pizza. If there are 1200 students in the school, how many would you expect to say pizza is their favorite lunch food?

Answer 1

288 students

Explanation:

12/50 will give you the ratio. This will end up as .24, or 24%. Multiply .24 to 1200 to sustain the ratio. .24 x 1200 = 288
