Question

A pizza shop wants to determine how often it delivers to three different areas of a city. The table shows the areas from a random sample of 80 deliveries.
Area of City - Number of deliveries
Nothern - 14
Central - 44
Southern - 22

Based on these data, if the driver makes 200 deliveries, how many deliveries will be to the southern area of the city?

Answer 1

Answer:

55 Southern deliveries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a ratio

Northern : Central : Southern : Total

    14        :     44     :       22      :   80

     7         :     22     :       11        :   40

    35        :     110     :      55      :  200

We can see from our ratio, that there are 55 Southern deliveries when 200 deliveries are delivered.
