Question

Cheo is ordering pizzas for a party. She has collected a total of $132. Each Pizza costs $11 and there is a $7 delivery fee. what is the most number of pieces that Cheo can order?

Answer 1

The most number of pieces that Cheo can order is 11.

Explanation:

Cost of ordering pizzas:

Flat fee(delivery) of $7.

Each pizza costs $11.

So the cost of ordering x pizzas: 7 + 11x

Cheo has a total of $132, which is the most she can spend.

What is the most number of pieces that Cheo can order?

The cost has to be less than 132. So

7 + 11x < 132

11x < 132 - 7

11x < 125

x < 125/11

x < 11.36

She cannot order 11.36 pizzas, it's either 11 or 12. 12 would cost more than 132.

The most number of pieces that Cheo can order is 11.
