monthly cost for a slices of pizza?

Answer 1

$32

$22

Explanation:

We know

Membership cost per month = $20

Price of a slice of pizza for members = $2

How much would Alang have to pay the pizza shop if he bought 17 slices of pizza this month?

The total cost of Alang on 17 slices of pizza = membership cost per month + prices of 17 discounted pizza

$20 + $2(6) = $32

What would be the monthly cost for a slice of pizza

The monthly cost of Alang a slice of pizza = membership cost per month + price of 1 discounted pizza

$20 + 2 = $22

So,

Alang would have to pay $32 if he bought 17 slices of pizza this month.

The cost of a slice of pizza is $22
