Question

Melissa bought a pizza in the amount of 73.76 and the cost will be distributed among 8 teachers. Four of the teachers rook 4/16 of the 8 boxes of pizza. How many pizzas are left and how much should each 8teachers pay

Answer 1

Four teachers took 2 out of 8 pizza boxes, leaving 6 boxes. Each of the 8 teachers will pay $9.22, totaling the pizza cost of $73.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Pizza Distribution and Cost per Teacher

Firstly, we should address the pizza distribution among the teachers. It's mentioned that four teachers took 4/16 of the 8 boxes of pizza.

Simplifying 4/16 gives us 1/4, thus the four teachers took 1/4 of the total boxes.

Therefore, they took 2 out of the 8 boxes (since 1/4 of 8 is 2). This leaves 6 boxes of pizza remaining.

Next, we determine the cost per teacher. The total cost of the pizza is $73.76 and this will be distributed equally among the 8 teachers.

To find out how much each teacher should pay, we divide the total cost by the number of teachers:

Cost per teacher = Total cost / Number of teachers
Cost per teacher = $73.76 / 8
Cost per teacher = $9.22

Therefore, each teacher should pay $9.22 for the pizza.
