A local pizza shop has a membership program for frequent buyers. The membership costs $5 per month and members get a discounted price of $1.50 per slice of pizza. Nasim purchased a membership to this pizza shop. How much would Nasim have to pay the pizza shop if he bought 20 slices of pizza this month? What would be the monthly cost for xx slices of pizza?

Answer 1

Answer: Nazim have to pay $35 for 20 slices of pizza.

Monthly cost for x slices = 5+1.5x

Explanation:

Let x = number of slices

As per given,

Total monthly cost for x slices = (membership cost) +(discounted price) ×(x)

i.e. Total monthly cost for x slices = 5+1.5x

If x=20

Then, Nazim have to pay = 5+1.5(20)

= 5+30= $35

i..e Nazim have to pay $35 for 20 slices of pizza.

Monthly cost for x slices = 5+1.5x
