At Pizza Pi, 64% of the pizzas made last week had extra cheese. If 16 pizzas had extra cheese, how many pizzas in all were made last week?

There were 25 pizzas made last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 64% of the pizzas had extra cheese and 16 pizzas had extra cheese. So it means that 64% is equals to 16 pizzas. In order to find how many pizzas were made, you have to find the remaining percentage of pizzas without extra cheese by subtracting 64% from 100% :

100 - 64 = 36 % of pizzas without extra cheese

64 % = 16 pizzas

1 % = 1/4 pizza

36 % = 9 pizzas

We have found out that 9 pizzas were made without extra cheese. The total pizzas were made last week is 25 pizzas (including extra cheese and no extra cheese) :

Total = Extra Cheese + No extra cheese

= 16 + 9

= 25 pizzas
