A large pizza costs $18. Each topping costs an additional $2.25, and each side
costs an additional $2.50.
Part A: Write an expression to represent the cost of a large pizza with
t toppings and s sides.
Part B: What is the cost of buying a large pizza with 2 toppings and 3 sides?

Answer 1

Part A: 18 + 2.25t + 2.50s

Part B: $30

Explanation:

Let t= each additional topping

Let s=each side

First we add the cost of one pizza ($18)

Then we add each additional topping (t) multiplied by its cost (2.25 dollars)

Finally we add each side (s) multplied (2.50 dollars)

Part B:

Plug in 2 for t and 3 for s into the expression from earlier and simplify:

Expression: 18 + 2.25(2) + 2.50(3)

=18+ 4.50 + 7.50

=30

And there you have it- the total cost is $30.

Hope this helps and good luck in your studies :)
