Answer:

C(x, y) = 8 + 1.25x + 2.50(y - 12)

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of 12 inch cheese pizza = $8

Each additional inch cost $2.50

Each additional topping cost $1.25

The cost equation :

Let x = additional topping ; y = diameter of pizza, cost of pizza = C

C(x, y) = cost of 12-inch + (cost of additional topping * number of additional topping) + (cost per additional diameter * extra diameter)

C(x, y) = 8 + 1.25x + 2.50(y - 12)
