Answer 1

Answer:

(2) If 300 lunches were sold, then 120 chose tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can evaluate each option and see if it makes it true.

For 1: If 200 lunches were served, 10 more students chose pizza over hotdogs.

We can find how many pizzas/hotdogs were given if 200 lunches were served by relating it to 100.

20% chose hotdog, which is $\frac{20}{100}$. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by two: $\frac{40}{200}$ - so 40 students chose hotdogs.

Same logic for pizza: 30% chose pizza - $\frac{30}{100} = \frac{60}{200}$ so 60.

60 - 40 = 20, not 10, so 1 doesn't work.

2: If 300 lunches were sold, then 120 chose tacos.

Let's set up a proportion again. 40% of 100 is 40.

$\frac{40}{100} = \frac{40\cdot3}{300} = \frac{120}{300}$

So 120 tacos were chosen - yes this works!

Hope this helped!
