Question

Justin got pepperoni, banana peppers, and black olives on his pizza for a cost of $7.49. Jake ordered mushrooms and eggplant on his pizza and paid $6.99. Using this information, how much did each topping cost? And what does a plain pizza cost with no extra toppings?

Answer 1

• toppings: $0.50 each
• plain pizza: $5.99

Explanation:

The difference in the number of toppings is 1, and the difference in the pizza cost is $0.50, so each topping costs $0.50.

The plain pizza will cost $1 less than a 2-topping pizza, so is $5.99.
