Question

A cheese pizza costs $5. Additional toppings cost $1.50 each. Write and graph an equation that represents the total cost $c$ (in dollars) of a pizza with $t$ toppings.

An equation that represents the total cost of a pizza c=____

Answer 1

5 + 1.5x = total cost

Explanation:

5 is for one pizza and x is for toppings. For every topping it is multiplied by 1.5. for example, if you have 2 toppings for one cheese pizza it would be 5 dollars + 1.5x2 which is 3 so 3+5=8$ in total.

Answer 2

1.5x + 5 = total cost

Explanation:

If you have x toppings you multiply 1.5 by x. :)
