Question

A local pizza shop has a membership program for frequent buyers. The membership costs $15 per month and members get a discounted price of $2 per slice of pizza. Anna purchased a membership to this pizza shop. How much would Anna have to pay the pizza shop if she bought 11 slices of pizza this month? What would be the monthly cost for xx slices of pizza

Answer 1

11 slices of pizza that month would be 37 dollars because the 11 x 2 + 15= 37

Answer 2

$37

2x+15=y

Explanation:

2x+15=y would be the function for any member's cost to be figured.

In Anna's case, if she bought 11 slices of pizza for $2 each and paid for her monthly membership of $15 then the equation would be

2(11)+15=

2x11=22

22+15=37

Her cost for that month would be $37
