Question

A restaurant charges $8 for a large cheese pizza plus $1.50 per topping. Another restaurant charges $11 for a large cheese pizza plus $0.75 per topping. To find out how many toppings it would take for the pizzas to cost the same at both restaurants, which equation would you set up?

A. 8 + 1.5x = 11 + 0.75x
B. 8x + 1.5 = 0.75x + 11
C. 8 + 0.75x = 11 + 1.5x

Answer 1

it would be A because in order to find out how much each topping would be you would need to multiply it by x or the number of toppings.
