Question

A pizza shops sells pizzas that are 10inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza cost 8$ .Each additional inch costs $1.50 ,and each additional topping costs 0.75 Write an equation that represents the cost of a pizza . Be sure to specify what the variable represents

Answer 1

y=8+1.5x+0.75z

Explanation:

step one:

let us initialize the variables

let the cost of pizza be y

and let additional inch be x

also, let additional topping be z

step two:

we can model the cost of pizza as

y=8+1.5x+0.75z

therefore the expression for the cost of the pizza is given as

y=8+1.5x+0.75z
