Question
Answer:
Hello!Here's how much each person stacked:
Ronnie -- 0.25 of the 40 pizzas.
Mack -- 9/40
Kim -- 35% of the 40 pizzas.
Ada -- rest of the pizzas.
Now, the questions asks for who stacked the most pizzas.
First, find our how many pizzas they stacked out of 40.
40 Γ 0.25 = 10
40 Γ 35% = 14
10 + 9 + 14 = 33
40 - 33 = 7
This means that Ronnie stacked 10 pizzas, Mack stacked 9 pizzas, Kim stacked 14 pizzas, and Ada stacked 7 pizzas.
ANSWER:
Kim stacked the most pizzas since she stacked 14 of them.
