They want to open the pizza place where the ratio of pizza places per person is less than 0.01. The population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 225 people per block, but there are already 36 pizza places in the area. The population of 22 blocks of the south area is 275 people per block, and there are 37 pizza places in the area. Where, if anywhere, should the Pretty Pizza Company open a new pizza place?
South side of town

Both sides of town
Neither side of town

Answer 1

Answer:

It is in fact option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The South Side is the best location to open a new pizza place.

Answer 2

North side:
.. (36 pizza places)/(15 *225 persons) ≈ 0.010667 pizza places/person

South side:
.. (37 pizza places)/(22 * 275 persons) ≈ 0.006116 pizza places/person

The density of pizza places on the South Side matches the required ratio. Pretty Pizza Company should open a new pizza place
.. on the South side of town.
