Question

henrys pizza sells pizza by the slice for lunch. an employee recorded how many slices of each type of pizza were sold today. onion 4 pepperoni 36 cheese 20 supreme 6 veggie 16 what is the experimental probability that the first slice sold during lunch tomorrow will be a slice of cheese pizza? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(cheese) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total slices

$4 + 36+20 + 6+16=82$

Step2: Calculate probability of cheese - pizza

The number of cheese - pizza slices is 20. The experimental probability $P$ (cheese) is the number of cheese - pizza slices divided by the total number of slices. So $P(\text{cheese})=\frac{20}{82}=\frac{10}{41}$

Answer:

$\frac{10}{41}$
