Question

Lindy works at a pizza restaurant and gets a 10% employee discount. She knows that if she orders d drinks and a medium pizza with t toppings, her total cost can be found using this expression: 0.90(2.25d + 1.40t + 6). What is the total cost for Lindy and her friends to order 4 drinks and a medium pizza with 3 toppings?

Answer 1

$17.28.

Explanation:

In the expression, d represents the number of drinks she orders and t represents the number of toppings.

In this case, she orders 4 drinks and 3 toppings, so d = 4 and t = 3.

0.90(2.25d + 1.40t + 6)

= 0.9(2.25 * 4 + 1.4 * 3 + 6)

= 0.9(9 + 4.2 + 6)

= 0.9 * 19.2

= 17.28

So, the total cost for Lindy and her friends will be $17.28.

Hope this helps!
