Be able to identify whether an equation needs to be additive, multiplicative, or both when given a verbal description and properly write an equation. Write an equation to find the total cost (y) of your purchase if pizzas at Little Caesars are $5 each (x).

A. y = x * 5
B. y = 5 + x
C. y = x / 5
D. y = 5 / x

Answer 1

To find the total cost (y) of your purchase if pizzas at Little Caesars are $5 each (x), you need to write the equation y = x * 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost (y) of your purchase if pizzas at Little Caesars are $5 each (x), you need to write an equation. The equation should be multiplicative because you are multiplying the number of pizzas (x) by the price of each pizza ($5). So the correct equation is y = x * 5.
