Arandom sample of students was surveyed on what they eat for lunch at school. the results are shown in the table below.

lunch item number of students
pizza 52
salad 26
burger 30
chicken sandwich 48
brought lunch from home 44

if the school has 1,000 students, about how many students can the cafeteria expect to buy pizza?

52
208
260
1,000

260 students Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students are surveyed

52 + 26 + 30 +48 + 44 = 200

Out of 200 students 52 students eat Pizza for lunch at school.

Now we calculate the percentage of 52 out of 200.

52 ÷ 200 × 100 = 26%

The random sample of students shows that 26% of students eat pizza for lunch at school. If the school has 1,000 students.

26% of 1000 students

0.26 × 1000 = 260 students

The cafeteria expect 260 students can buy pizza.

this is false ^.^ lol
