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:

8 + 1.5(10-d) + .75t = Total

Step-by-step explanation:

8 is the $8

1.5(d-10) is all inches over 10

• d is the diameter of the pizza
• We subtract 10 to remove the 10 inches that come with no extra cost.
• 1.5 is the cost that is multiplied by additional inches because it is the cost of each extra inch.

.75t

• .75 is the cost for each new topping added
• t is the amount of toppings
