The table below shows the probability of different flavors of potato chips being sold at a snack bar at the pool.

If 75 bags of salt and vinegar chips were sold on Monday, predict how many total bags of chips were sold on Monday.

1 answer

To predict the total number of bags of chips sold on Monday, we need to know the probability of salt and vinegar chips being sold from the table.

Since the table is not provided, we will assume that the probability of salt and vinegar chips being sold is 0.25. This means that there is a 25% chance that a bag of chips sold is salt and vinegar flavor.

If 75 bags of salt and vinegar chips were sold on Monday, we can divide the total number of bags sold by the probability of salt and vinegar chips being sold to determine the total number of bags sold on Monday.

Total number of bags sold on Monday = 75 / 0.25
Total number of bags sold on Monday = 300 bags

Therefore, the predicted total number of bags of chips sold on Monday is 300 bags.
