A restaurant wants to study how well its salads sell. The circle graph shows the sales over the past few days. If 5 of the salads sold were Caesar salads, how many total salads did the restaurant sell?

Salads Sold:
- Caesar: 25%
- Garden: 60%
- Taco: 15%

Answer :

The total number of salads sold by the restaurant is 20

How to get the total number of salads sold

The sentence given shows that 25% is representative of the 5 Caesar salads sold.

Let's say that the total number of salads sold was x. So, we are told that 25% of the total number of salads sold is for the Caesar type.

Then, if 0.25x = 5 salads.

Thus x = 5/0.25

= 20

So, the total number of salads sold by the restaurant is 20.

Of these, Garden salads = 0.6 × 20

= 12

Also, Tacos = 0.15 × 20 = 3

3 + 12 + 5 = 20
