Question

In a sample of 60 diners at a restaurant, 12 had ordered an appetizer. If the restaurant serves 800 diners each day, how many are likely to order an appetizer?

Answer 1

There are 160 people who are likely to order an appetizer.

In order to find this, you first divide 60 by 12 to get 5. This means 1 out of every 5 people buys an appetizer, so to find how many out of 800 buy an appetizer, you divide 800 by 5. Thus getting 160 as an answer.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

If im correct i think it should be 160 because i divided 60 by 12 and got 5 the divided 800 by 5 and got 160.
