Question

Jacob ordered pizza from his favorite pizzeria. The pizzeria delivers pizzas for $10 each plus a delivery charge of $2.99. Jacob paid a total of $32.99. Write an equation that models this situation. Let p = the number of pizzas delivered. Equation:

Answer 1

$10p + $ 2.99 = $32.99

Explanation:

I got this because he got multiple pizzas that are each $10, but we don't know how many there are, so I put $10p together.

He also pays $2.99 as a delivery charge.

And I ended it with the equation equaling $32.99 because that is the total he paid.
