Question

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8. Each additional inch costs $1.50, and each additional topping costs $0.75. Josh orders a pizza and the total cost of the pizza comes out to $19.25. Write an equation that represents the cost of Josh's pizza. *

Answer 1

8 + 1.50x + 0.75y = 19.25

Explanation:

Let the number of additional inch = x

Let the number of toppings = y

From the question,

A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8.

Each additional inch costs $1.50

Each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents Josh's pizza is when his total cost amounts to $19.25 is:

$8 + $1.50 × x + $0.75y = $19.25

8 + 1.50x + 0.75y = 19.25
