To predict the number of cheese slices sold, we first calculate the proportion of patrons that prefer cheese pizza:
9 cheese patrons / (9+5+6+7 total patrons) = 9/27 = 0.333
Then, we multiply this proportion by the total number of slices sold:
0.333 x 1299 = 432.867
Rounded to the nearest whole number, we predict that 433 cheese slices will be sold.
Therefore, the correct response is:
433 patrons
