A restaurant chain sells 15,000 pizzas each month, and 70% of the pizzas are topped with pepperoni. Of these, 2/3 also have peppers. How many pizzas have pepperoni and peppers?
We multiply the pizzas sold by the percentage of pepperoni times the fraction of peppers. Since 70% is 7/10, we have:
Pizzas with pepperoni and peppers = 15,000 * 7/10 * 2/3
7/10 * 2/3 = 14/30. Using our fraction simplifier calculator, we can reduce this to 7/15
Pizzas with pepperoni and peppers = 15,000 * 7/15
Pizzas with pepperoni and peppers = 7,000
