Answer:

20 Pizza

Explanation:

Let the number of vegetable pizza be x

Given that

Manuel ordered four times as many cheese pizzas as vegetable pizzas

the number of cheese pizza = 4x

1. no of slice in 1 vegetable pizza pie = 6

no of slice in x vegetable pizza pie = 6x

2. no of slice in 1 cheese pizza pie = 8

no of slice in 4x cheese pizza pie = 8*4x = 32x

Total no of slice for x vegetable pizza and 4x cheese pizza = 6x+32x = 38x

Given that

total no. of 152 slices, therefore

38x = 152

=> x = 152/38 = 4

Thus, no. of vegetable pizza ordered = 4

no. of cheese pizza ordered = 4x = 4*$ = 16

Total no of pizza ordered = 16+4 = 20 (answer)
