Question

Instructions:Select the correct answer.

Keith is an independent filmmaker. He's planning to serve pizza and sub sandwiches at his first film debut. The number of sandwiches is twice the value of four less than the number of pizzas. If he ordered 62 sandwiches, how many pizzas did he order?
A.) 48
B.) 35
C.) 33
D.) 12

Answer 1

The answer is B.) 35

Answer 2

Answer: B.) 35

Explanation:

Let p be the number of pizzas ordered.

then the number of sandwiches =
`2(p-4)`

According to the question,

`2(p-4)=62\\\Rightarrow\ p-4=31.............[\text{ Divide 2 on both the sides }]\\\Rightarrow\ p=31+4...................[\text{ Add 4 on both the sides }]\\\Rightarrow\ p=35`

Hence, the number of pizzas ordered = 35.
