A store sells 4 main types of chocolate bars milk chocolate dark chocolate white chocolate and hazelnut chocolate the store employees survey 50 students at random If 450 chocolate bars are to be ordered how many should be milk chocolate A) about 252B) about 198C) about 450 D) about 225

Hi there! The answer is A. 252

To find the percentage of the customers who preferred the milk chocolate bar we need to know two things:

First we need to know the total amount of customers, which is 50.
Second we need to know how many of these customers preferred the milk chocolate bar. This bar is preferred by 28 people.

Now we can fill in the following formula, in order to find our percentage:
[tex]\% = \frac{part}{total} \times 100 \% = \frac{28}{50} \times 100 \% = 0.56 \times 100 \% = 56 \% [/tex]

Now we can multiply this percentage by the total amount of chocolate bars which will be bought (which is 450).
[tex]56 \% \times 450 = 0.56 \times 450 = 252[/tex]

Hence, the answer is A. 252
