Question

Suppose a medium pizza at Vincent’s costs $6.75 plus $0.75 for each topping, and the cost of a medium pizza at Original Italian Pizza is $6.15 plus $0.80 per topping. How many toppings would you have to include on your pizza for the price to be the same at both places?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 toppings

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a 60 cent difference in the base price, and the price of toppings is a 5 cent difference, so it would take 60/5 or 12 toppings to make up the difference.   r, you can make a chart.  Or you can do algebra and solve an equation:

6.75 + .75 x = 6.15 + .8x  where x is the number of toppings.  Subtract 6.15 from both sides.

.60 + .75x = .8 x     Subtract .75x from both sides

.60 = .05x         Divide both sides by .05
