Question

Wholesome Pizza surveyed a random sample of 40 Trinity Food Festival attendees about their favorite type of pizza. Of the attendees surveyed, 21 said that sausage pizza was their favorite type of pizza. There are 1600 Trinity Food Festival attendees.Based on the data, what is the most reasonable estimate for the number of Trinity Food Festival attendees whose favorite type of pizza is sausage pizza?

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the fact that 21/40 people loved sausage pizza we can times the fraction by 40 (because 40 lots of 40 fit into 1600) to get an answer of 840/1600 (because 21 times 40 is 840)

So about 840 people at the convention loved sausage pizza
