A local target store bought 122 pizzas at pizza hut for its holiday party. each guest ate 1/4 of a pizza and there was no pizza left over. how many guests did target have for the party?

Respuesta :

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.

We have then:

x: total number of pizzas

y: amount of pizza eaten by each guest

Therefore, the total number of guests is given by:

[tex] N = \frac{x}{y} [/tex]

Substituting values we have:

[tex] N = \frac{122}{\frac{1}{4}} [/tex]

Rewriting we have:

[tex] N = 122 * 4 [/tex]

[tex] N = 488 [/tex]

Answer:

The total number of guests is equal 488.
