The following menu items were ordered at a pizza parlor on Friday. 3 salads, 8 pizzas, 4 sides of breadsticks, and 5 pepperoni calzones, What is the amount of breadsticks and calzone orders the pizza parlor should expect if there were 100 total orders?

Using proportions, the pizza parlor should expect 20 breadsticks and 25 calzone orders if there were 100 total orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Orders:

Salads 3

Pizzas 8

Sides of breadsticks 4

Pepperoni calzones 5

Total orders: 20

Proportion of sides breadsticks=4/20=0.2

Proportion of pepperoni calzones=5/20=0.25

For 100 total orders:

Sides of breadsticks=0.2 (100) = 20

Pepperoni calzones=0.25 (100) = 25
