Question

Coach Harman is ordering pizza for the football banquet. Pepperoni pizza (p ) costs $10 per pizza and cheese pizza (c ) costs $8 per pizza. Coach has a budget of $300 to spend on pizza. Which inequality represents the number of each type of pizza he can purchase without going over his budget?

Answer 1

Answer: 10p + 8c ≤ 300

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Pepperoni pizza (p ) costs $10 per pizza and cheese pizza (c ) costs $8 per pizza and that the coach has a budget of $300 to spend on the pizza.

The inequality that represents the number of each type of pizza he can purchase without going over his budget would be:

10p + 8c ≤ 300

This shows that the combination of both types of pizza shouldn't be more than $300.
