Question

The Pretty Pizza Company wants to open a new pizza place either on the north side of town or the south side of town. They want to open the pizza place where the ratio of pizza places per person is less than 0.01. The population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 221 people per block, but there are already 32 pizza places in the area. The population of 22 blocks of the south area is 150 people per block, and there are 28 pizza places in the area. Where, if anywhere, should the Pretty Pizza Company open a new pizza place?

Answer 1

Well, we to count the ratio of pizza place per person first
total people in north = 15 x 221 = 3315
Total people in south = 22 x 150 = 3300

Ratio in north = 32/3315 =  0.00965
Ration in south = 28/3300 = 0.00848

They said they want to open if the ratio is less than 0.01 , So i think both south and north are viable options

hope this helps


 

Answer 2

The population computed shows that Pretty Pizza can open a new pizza place in both places as they are less than 0.01.

How to explain the population?

The population in North side town = 15 × 221 = 3315

Ratio of pizza place per person will be:

= 32/3315 = 0.0096

Population in South = 22 × 150 = 3300

Ratio of pizza places per person = 28/3000 = 0.0084

Therefore, Pretty Pizza can open a new pizza place in both places as they are less than 0.01.
