Answer: 9 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Jackson Elementary School ordered 25 pizzas for an awards ceremony and at the end of the day, the principal found 8 1/4 pepperoni pizzas and 7 3/4 sausage pizzas left over.
A reasonable estimate for the number of pizzas the students ate at the awards ceremony will be:
= 25 - (8 1/4 + 7 3/4)
= 25 - 16
= 9 pizzas
