Answer 1

The total amount you will spend is;

`\text{\$}49.5`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Papa John's charges $12 for a pizza pie and $2.25 for each topping.

Let p represent the number of pizza pie and t represent the number of toppings.

The total cost will be;

`C=12p+2.25t`

If you bought 3 pizza pies and 6 toppings;

`\begin{gathered} p=3 \\ t=6 \end{gathered}`

Substituting;

`\begin{gathered} C=12p+2.25t \\ C=12(3)+2.25(6) \\ C=49.5 \\ C=\text{\$}49.5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the total amount you will spend is;

`\text{\$}49.5`
