Question

Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She's ordering from a restaurant that charges a
$7.50 delivery fee and $14 per pizza. She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to
keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $60.
Each pizza is cut into 8 slices, and she wonders how many total slices she can afford.
Let P represent the number of pizzas that Jacque buys.
1) Which inequality describes this scenario?
Choose 1 answer:
7.50 +14P < 60
B
7.50+ 14P > 60
14 + 7.50P < 60
D
14+ 7.50P > 60

Answer 1

Answer: A.    7.50 +14P < 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the number of pizzas that Jacque buys.

Given, delivery fee =$7.50

Per pizza cost = $14

She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to

keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $60.

i.e.  (delivery fee) + (Number of pizzas) x (Per pizza cost) < $60

i.e. 7.50 +14P<60

Required inequality :  7.50 +14P<60
