Question

a local pizzeria tracked which pizza toppings customers purchased. answer the questions based on the pie graph below. 1) between peppers and chicken which topping was more popular, or were they equally popular? 2) were peppers and chicken picked more than the sausage and bacon; or were they equally bought? 3) if there were 200 customers that were tracked, how many bought bacon? 4) combined, which two toppings did the greatest number of customers choose? 5) what percentage of customers chose either the spinach or the salami? most purchased pizza topping chicken 10% sausage 13% spinach 21% bacon 15% peppers 12% salami

Explanation:

Step1: Check percentages of peppers and chicken

Peppers: 12%, Chicken: 10%
12% > 10%

Step2: Calculate peppers+chicken and sausage+bacon

Peppers+chicken: 12% + 10% = 22%
Sausage+bacon: 18% + 15% = 33%
22% < 33%

Step3: Compute bacon customers

Total customers: 200, Bacon:15%
Number = 200 × 15% = 200 × 0.15 = 30

Step4: Find largest percentage topping

Salami (missing percentage: 100% - 18% -10% -21% -15% -12% = 24%)
Salami:24%, Spinach:21% → Largest two: Salami and Spinach

Step5: Add spinach and salami percentages

Spinach:21%, Salami:24%
Total = 21% + 24% = 45%

Answer:

1. Peppers
2. Sausage and bacon were picked more
3. 30
4. Salami and spinach
5. 45%
