first convert the percentages and fractions into number of pizzas
for example Bella stacked 0.25 * 60 pizzas
OpenStudy (welshfella):
what does 0.25 * 60 work out to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15

OpenStudy (welshfella):
right and for Camila:-
35% of 60 = 35 * 60 2100
----- = ----
100 100
OpenStudy (welshfella):
so that is how many pizzas?

OK so we have 12 , 15 and 21 pizzas
so Trinity stacked 60 - 12 - 15 - 21 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right
OpenStudy (welshfella):
can you work that out
then we can see which person stacked the most
OpenStudy (welshfella):
lets add up 12 + 15 + 21
that comes to 48
so trinity stacked 60 - 48 = 12
