Answer:
Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%
Explanation:
Let number of students be 100.
At Taylor Street School, 40% of the students bought lunch in the cafeteria today
Number of students bought lunch = 100 x 40/100 = 40
Of the students who bought lunch in the cafeteria today, 30% chose pizza as their entree
Number of students bought pizza = 40 x 30/100 = 12.
Probability of an outcome = Number of favorable outcome/ Total number of outcome
Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = Number of students bought pizza/Total number of students
= 12/100 =0.12 = 12%
Probability that she or he bought lunch in the cafeteria and chose pizza as an entree = 12/100 =0.12 = 12%
