Question

Susan decided to plan a party and invite her friends. Her mom was willing to spend $20 on the party and Susan had another $5 of her own money that she would use. Pizza costs $5.99 each and include 6 slices. If each guest can eat 3 slices on average, how many friends can Susan invite?

Answer 1

8 people

Explanation:

if you add 5.99+ 5.99 it equals 11.98 if you then add another 5.99 it equals 17.97 add one more 5.99 and it equals 23.96 dollars. if you divide it, it equals 4 pizzas.

4 pizzas with 6 slices each

if you divide that by 3 it equals 8

the people that can be invited are 8 people

I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

if susan has about 25 dollars to spend, she can buy 3 pizzas to feed 5 friends plus herself. each pizza can feed 2 people.
