Question
Angel asked 100 random 7th grade students at lunch what their favorite pizza topping was. The table below records the data Angel collected.

To predict how many 7th graders in the school would choose pepperoni as their favorite pizza topping, we first need to determine the proportion of the 100 surveyed students who chose pepperoni. However, since the data about the specific number of students who chose pepperoni is not provided in your question, I'll demonstrate how to calculate the prediction if we hypothetically know that a certain percentage favored pepperoni.
Let's assume the proportion of students who chose pepperoni in the survey is represented by a percentage \( P \). The number of students choosing pepperoni from the total school population of 450 7th graders can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Predicted number of students} = P \times 450
\]
If, for example, \( P \) turned out to be 30% (or 0.3) based on the survey, we would calculate it as follows:
\[
\text{Predicted number of students} = 0.3 \times 450 = 135
\]
Since we don't have the exact number for pepperoni from your context, replace \( P \) with the actual percentage of students that chose pepperoni from the survey results to compute the number of students for your specific scenario.
Once you find the number of 7th graders who prefer pepperoni toppings, you can choose the closest option from the provided responses based on your calculated result. If the proportion for pepperoni, for example, was found to be 54%, the calculation would look like:
\[
0.54 \times 450 = 243
\]
In this hypothetical example, the closest answer (given your options) would be 243.
Please look at your survey data for the number of students that chose pepperoni to properly calculate this.
