Question

Using a pizza place that you enjoy, create a model of the cost of a pizza party for our class. Please list the restaurant you chose and their prices! 1. Write an expression that could represent an estimated cost for the party. Use at least one letter. State what each part of the expression represents. N- represents the number of people coming to the party 28, s- represents the number of slices 2, d- drinks for people 2, p- number of pizzas 7 2. Choose a letter in your expression. Describe the values that would be reasonable for the quantity that the letter represents. I

Answer 1

N= 28, number of attendants

s=2 number of slices per person

d= 2 numbers of drinks per person

p= number of pizzas

To calculate the number of pizzas you need you have to multiply the number of slices by the number of people attending the party:

p= (s*N)/8

The total number of drinks (Dr) is equal to the number of drinks per person by the number of attendants:

Dr= d*N

The total cost of the party will be the number of pizzas by the cost per pizza, plus the number of drinks plus the cost per drink:

T= p*$per pizza + Dr*$price per drink.

Number of pizzas: p= (s*N)/8= (2*28)/8= 56/8=7

Assuming they are divided in 8 slices.

Dr= d*N= 2*28= 56 drinks

T= 7*$per pizza + 56*$price per drink.
