Answer:

x = people who chose pepperoni = 252

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people : people who chose pepperoni = 25 : 18

how many people would you expect to choose pepperoni

out of 350 people?

Let x = people who chose pepperoni

Number of people : people who chose pepperoni = 350 : x

Equate both ratios

25 : 18 = 350 : x

25/18 = 350/x

Cross product

25*x = 18*350

25x = 6,300

x = 6,300/25

x = 252

x = people who chose pepperoni = 252
