A grocery store recently sold 20 cartons of yogurt, of which 5 were cherry. Based on past data, how many of the next 16 cartons of yogurt sold should you expect to be cherry?

Question

cartons of yogurt

Answer 1

Based on the past data, 25% of the yogurt cartons sold were cherry (5 cherry cartons out of 20 total cartons). Therefore, based on this trend, you should expect 25% of the next 16 cartons to be cherry.

25% of 16 is 4, so you should expect 4 of the next 16 cartons of yogurt sold to be cherry.
