Question

At Pablo’s Pizza Pie, medium cheese pizzas cost $12.50, large cheese pizzas cost $15, and a 3-liter bottle of soda costs $2.50. Kevin purchased one bottle of soda and 5 pizzas for his party. If he spent exactly $70, what combination of medium and large pizzas did he purchase?

Answer 1

3 medium and 2 large pizzas.

Explanation:

70= 2.5+(12.50x+15y)

70-2.5=67.5

Possibilities

67.5=12.5(4)+15(1) FALSE (65)

67.5=12.5(2)+15(3)FALSE(52.5)

67.5=12.5(3)+15(2)

TRUE (67.5)
