The Pretty Pizza Company wants to open a new pizza place on either the north side of town or the south side of town. They want to open the pizza place where the ratio of pizza places per person is less than 0.008. The population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 220 people per block, and there are already 26 pizza places in the area. The population of 22 blocks of the south area is 175 people per block, and there are 33 pizza places in the area. Where, if anywhere, should the Pretty Pizza Company open a new pizza place? Southside of town
Neither side of town
Both sides of town
Northside of town

I'm going to answer my own question. (I did the test and got it right)
The answer would be Northside of town.

total people in the north: 15*220=3300
total people in the south: 22*175=2850

the ratio in the north: 26/3300 = 0.007878788
the ratio in the south: 33/3850 = 0.008571429

They said they want to open if the ratio is less than 0.008. Only north is less than that ratio so "Northside of town" would be the correct answer
