Question

At a food truck, 1/8 of a whole pizza costs $2. In an hour, 6 ¼ pizzas were sold. How much money was made at the food booth in that hour?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

We assume you're interested in the revenue collected by the food truck.

6 1/4 pizzas = (6·4+1)/4 = 25/4 = 50/8 pizzas = 50×(1/8 pizza)

If each 1/8 pizza slice is sold for $2, then the revenue is ...

50 × $2 = $100 . . . . revenue from 6 1/4 pizzas
