Question

After their soccer game, Mark and his friends eat at their favorite restaurant, the Dancing Meatball. When the bill comes, they divide the cost of a meatball pizza evenly among 5 people. Each person pays $3.25. Which equation can you use to find the cost c of the pizza?

Answer 1

Let's call the cost of the pizza "c". To find the cost of the pizza, you can use the following equation:

c = 5 x 3.25

In this equation, "5" represents the number of people who are sharing the cost of the pizza, and "3.25" represents the amount each person is paying. So, multiplying these two numbers together gives the total cost of the pizza, "c".
