Chapter 7.2, Problem 5GP

To determine

Find highly preferred group of sandwiches in a restaurant.

Answer to Problem 5GP

At a restaurant, most of customers prefers rib sandwiches.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Fish sandwiches preferred customers = $\frac{1}{8}$

  $\frac{1}{8}$

Rib sandwiches preferred customers = $14\%$

Chicken sandwiches preferred customers = 0.12

Calculations:

Here, we have to compare customer preferring different types of sandwiches..

We have 14% rib sandwiches preferred customers.

Now expressing fish sandwiches preferred customers in percent form,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\times 100\\ =12.5\%\end{array}$

Expressing chicken sandwiches preferred customers in percent form,

  $\begin{array}{l}0.12=0.12\times 100\\ =12\%\end{array}$

Comparing pet owners, we get

  $14\%>12.5\%>12\%$

Rib sandwiches preferred customers > Fish sandwiches preferred customers > Chicken sandwiches preferred customers

Conclusion:

Therefore, most of the customers in a restaurant prefer rib sandwiches.
