Question

#10: Mr. McBride ordered 6 cheese pizzas and 7 pepperoni pizzas and paid $153.50 for his son's birthday party. He realized he was going to run out of pizza and made a second order. This time, he ordered 2 cheese and 2 pepperoni pizzas and paid $47.00. Which system of equations is correct?

Answer 1

6c+7p=153.50

2c+2p=47.00

Step-by-step explanation: Let's label the cheese pizzas with a variable, "c" and the pepperoni pizzas, "p." Now, it says that he ordered 6 cheese pizzas and 7 pepperoni pizzas for 153.50, so 6c+7p=153.50. And it also says that he ordered 2 cheese and 2 pepperoni pizzas for 47.00, so 2c+2p=47.00. Overall the system of equations is:

6c+7p=153.50

2c+2p=47.00

Hope this helped!
