Question

Jacob is buying pizza dough at the store to make pizzas for his family.

For every 15 pizza doughs he buys, he pays $20.
What is the price per pizza dough?

Answer 1

The price per pizza dough is $1.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price per pizza dough, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pizza doughs.

In this case, Jacob pays $20 for 15 pizza doughs. So, the price per pizza dough is $20 ÷ 15 = $1.33 (rounded to two decimal places).

Answer 2

Answer: $1.33

This can be worked out as a simple algebra problem: 15x=20, x being 1 pizza dough. In order to find the value of one pizza dough (x) you need to isolate it. To do that, divide 15 from both sides and you'll be left with x=1.33

15x=20

/15 /15

x=1.33
