Question

a garden store recently sold 44 seed packets, including 22 squash seed packets. considering this data, how many of the next 94 seed packets sold should you expect to be squash seed packets? squash seed packets

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the proportion of squash seed packets

The proportion of squash seed packets in the first - sold ones is $\frac{22}{44}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Step2: Use the proportion to predict the number

Multiply the proportion by the number of the next - sold seed packets. So the expected number of squash seed packets in the next 94 sold is $\frac{1}{2}\times94 = 47$.
