Question

A local pizza shop has a membership program for frequent buyers. the membership costs $25 per month and members get a discounted price of $1.25 per slice of pizza. rajani purchased a membership to this pizza shop. how much would rajani have to pay the pizza shop if she bought 17 slices of pizza this month? what would be the monthly cost for xx slices of pizza?

Answer 1

Rajani would need to pay a total of $46.25 for 17 slices of pizza including her monthly membership fee. For xx slices of pizza per month, the cost would be $25 plus $1.25 multiplied by xx.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much Rajani would have to pay for buying 17 slices of pizza with a membership at the pizza shop, we have to add the fixed membership cost to the total cost of the slices (17 slices at $1.25 each):

Membership cost = $25
Cost per slice with membership = $1.25

Total cost for 17 slices = 17 slices × $1.25/slice
Total cost for 17 slices = $21.25

Therefore, Rajani's total cost this month, including the membership, would be:

Total cost = Membership cost + Total cost for slices
Total cost = $25 + $21.25
Total cost = $46.25

To calculate the monthly cost for xx slices of pizza, the formula would be:

Monthly cost for xx slices = Membership cost + ($1.25 × xx)
Monthly cost for xx slices = $25 + $1.25xx
