The basketball team sold pizzas for a fundraiser. They sold large pizzas for $15.00 and medium pizzas for $12.00. If the basketball team sold 96 pizza all together and made $1356, how many of each type of pizza did they sell?

Answer:

93 large, 3 medium

the first thing you gotta do is find the least amount of the smaller number that you can take away until it becomes a multiple of the largest number.

1356-12(1)

1344-12(2)

1332-12(3)

1320 12 factored into 1356 3 times before we reached a multiple of 15 so we subtract 3 from the total number of pizza sold and we have 93 large pizzas and 3 medium pizzas

disclaimer: as I am a human I might be wrong have a nice day
