Question

Pete's Pizza Parlor sells pizzas for $7 each. Pete's has a $5 fee for all delivery orders. What equation could be used to find C, the total cost, based on p numbers of pizzas?

Answer 1

C = 5 + 7p

Explanation:

Pete's Pizza Parlor sells pizzas for $7 each. Pete's has a $5 fee for all delivery orders.

Let p = Total number of pizzas

Hence:

The total cost C is written as:

C = $5 + $7 × p

C = 5 + 7p

Therefore, the equation that could be used to find C, the total cost, based on p numbers of pizzas is:

C = 5 + 7p
