Question

Pizza Pies charges $12 for a medium pizza and an additional $0.50 for each topping. Write an equation to represent the total cost, C, of a medium pizza with t toppings. Then identify the independent and dependent variables in this situation.

C = 12t + 0.5
C = 0.5t + 12
t = 12C + 0.5
t = 12 + 0.5C

Answer 1

C = 0.5t +12

Explanation:

this is the answer

Answer 2

C = 0.5t + 12. Independent variable is t and the dependent variable is C.

Explanation:

$12 is constant, and then $0.50 is multiplied to the amount of toppings (t). So C= 0.5t + 12 and the cost is dependent on the amount of toppings.
