Question

thank you
...

Answer 1

Based on the proportion of cheese pizza slices to total slices sold, we can set up a ratio:

3 slices of cheese pizza / 20 total slices = x slices of cheese pizza / 5680 total slices

Cross multiplying, we get:

3 * 5680 = 20x

17,040 = 20x

x = 852

Therefore, if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week, they are predicted to sell 852 slices of cheese pizza.

Answer 2

is that right?

Answer 3

Apologies for the error in my calculation. Let's correct that:

3 slices of cheese pizza is to 20 total slices as x slices of cheese pizza is to 5680 total slices.

This can be expressed as:

3/20 = x/5680

Cross multiplying:

20x = 3 * 5680
20x = 17,040
x = 17,040 / 20
x = 852

Therefore, if the pizza parlor sells 5,680 total slices in a week, they are predicted to sell 852 slices of cheese pizza. Thank you for your patience.
