Answer 1

First, find the total number of tickets, which is 250.
Next, find the number of restaurant tickets, which is 50.
Then, find how the number of restaurant tickets relate to the total number of tickets.
50 goes into 250 five times, so it would be written as 20% in percent form.
Finally, see if the process used is theoretical or experimental.
In this case, the process used is theoretical, making the answer C.
