Question

A local pizza shop has a membership program for frequent buyers. The membership costs $20 per month and members get a discounted price of $1.25 per slice of pizza. Chee purchased a membership to this pizza shop. How much would Chee have to pay the pizza shop if she bought 12 slices of pizza this month? What would be the monthly cost for x slices of pizza?

Answer 1

$35 for 12 slices

Monthly cost for x slices of pizza = 20 + 1.25x

Explanation:

Monthly Membership cost = $20
Discounted cost per slice of pizza = $1.25
Discounted total cost for 12 slices = $1.25 x 12 = $15

Total cost = 20 + 15 = $35 this momth

For x slices of pizza, monthly cost = 20 + 1.25x
