Question

#6. To raise money a club sells slices of pizza after school. Pepperoni slices cost $3 and cheese slices

cost $2. 12. 7 slices are sold and $326 are raised. How many of each slice were sold?

Answer 1

pepperoni slices : 72

cheese slices: 55

Explanation:

p is the number of pepperoni slices

c is the number of cheese slices

so p + c = 127 => c = 127 - p

3p + 2c = 326

3p + 2(127 - p) = 326

3p + 254 - 2p = 326

p = 326 - 254 = 72

c = 127 - 72 = 55
