Question

Pizza by the Pan sold 4 dozen pizzas in the afternoon. That night, they sold 2.5 times as many pizzas as they did during the afternoon. How many pizzas did they sell in all that day?

Answer 1

they sold 14 pizzas all day.

Explanation:

4 x 2 = 8

0.5 means half of what they sold in the afternoon

4 ÷ 2 = 2

now add them both together to get the number of pizzas they sold at night.

8 + 2 = 10

now add the afternoon and night together

10 + 4 = 14

answer: 14 pizzas
