Question

Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She's ordering from a restaurant that charges a $7.50 fee and $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. Each pizza is cut into 8. She wonders how many total slices she can afford.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

If the restaurant fee is $7.5 and the price is $14 per pizza, she has $52.5 to spend on the pizzas after we deduct the restaurant fee.

That means she can get 52.5 / 14 = 3.75 pizzas.

• Since she can't get .75 pizza, we can assume that she will order 3, which in total makes 8 x 3 = 24 slices.

• If she can however order 3.75 pizzas, .75 x 8 makes 6 slices so it is a total of 30 slices for 3.75 pizzas.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer 2

The total slices she can afford is 30 and this can be determined by using the unitary method and forming the linear equation.

Given :

• Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office.
• She's ordering from a restaurant that charges a $7.50 fee and $14 for delivery.
• 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.

The following steps can be used to determine the total slices she can afford:

Step 1 - Total cost to order one pizza is given by:

= 7.5 + 14

= $21.5

Step 2 - Let the total number of pizzas she can order be 'x'. So, the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $60 is represented by the equation:

14x + 7.5 = 60

14x = 52.5

x = 3.75

Step 3 - Now, according to the given data if one pizza contains 8 slices then 3.75 pizza contains:

$= 3.75\times 8$

= 30 slices

The total slices she can afford is 30.
