Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of customers who ordered at most two toppings, we add those who ordered pizzas with just one topping and those who ordered pizzas with exactly two toppings. This gives us 12 (pepperoni only) + 18 (sausage only) + 13 (onions only) + 6 (pepperoni and sausage) + 5 (sausage and onions) + 4 (pepperoni and onions) = 58. However, we must also consider the 2 orders with all three toppings, as they technically include scenarios of at most two toppings as well. Therefore, the total is 58 + 2 = 60. The question seems to have a slight discrepancy in its formulation or choices, as the calculation suggests 60, but the closest option provided is 59, which we choose by process of elimination and considering the intent of the question.
