Question

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza cost $8. Each additional inch cost $1.50, and each additional topping costs $0.75.

Write an equation that represents the cost of a pizza

Answer 1

Answer:

c= $8+0.75t+1.5i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Shop sell minimum size of 10 inches pizza

           10 inches cheese pizza cost $8

            Additional each inch of pizza over 10 inch will cost $1.50

            Each additional topping will cost $0.75

Now, assuming additional topping be `t`,additional inch of pizza be `i` and cost of a pizza be `c`

Remember, Total cost= fixed cost+ variable cost.

Next to calculate the cost of a pizza, we consider cost of cheese pizza.

Cost of a pizza= $\ 8+ \ 0.75\times t+ \ 1.50\times i$.

Now, equation to represent the cost of pizza

$c= 8+0.75t+1.50i$
