Answer: 60 pizzas

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the student council plan to order 2 cheese pizzas for every 3 pepperoni pizzas they order.

Since 36 pepperoni pizzas are ordered for the dance, the number of cheese pizzas ordered will be:

= 36 × 2/3

= 24 cheese pizzas

The total pizza ordered will now be:

= Cheese pizzas + Pepperoni pizzas

= 24 + 36

= 60 pizzas
