433 patrons
To predict the number of cheese slices sold, we need to find the proportion of patrons who prefer cheese pizza.
Number of patrons who prefer cheese: 9
Total number of patrons surveyed: 9 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 27
Proportion of patrons who prefer cheese pizza: 9/27 = 1/3
Total slices of pizza sold: 1,299
Number of cheese slices sold: 1/3 * 1,299 = 433 slices
Therefore, the number of cheese slices sold would be 433 slices.
Use the table to answer the question.

A local marching band is having a pizza fundraiser. To predict what types of pizza to order, they surveyed patrons on their favorite toppings. If the marching band were to sell 1,299 slices of pizza, predict the number of cheese slices sold.
