A pizza parlor owner knows they sell 3 slices of cheese pizza out of 20 total slices sold. Predict how many slices of cheese pizza will be sold if the pizza parlor sells 5680 total slices in a week.

1 answer

To predict how many slices of cheese pizza will be sold, we will first calculate the proportion of cheese pizza slices sold to the total slices.

Proportion of cheese pizza slices = 3 slices / 20 slices = 0.15

Now, we will use this proportion to predict the number of cheese pizza slices sold if the total slices sold is 5680.

Predicted number of cheese pizza slices sold = 0.15 * 5680 = 852

Therefore, the pizza parlor owner is predicted to sell 852 slices of cheese pizza if they sell a total of 5680 slices in a week.
