The maximum number of pizzas that Mr. Braun can buy is 5.
The equation that can be used to represent the total amount spent on soda pop and pizzas is:
$75 = 5x($0.75) + x($9)
Where:
- x = number of pizzas that can be bought
- 5x = total number of drinks that can be bought
In order to determine the number of pizzas that can be bought, we have to solve for x
$75 = 3.75x + 9x
$75 = $12.75x
x = $75 / 12.75
x = 5.88
If 6 pizzas are bought, 30 drinks would be bought, the total cost would be:
6($9) + 30(0.75) = $76.50
If 5 pizzas are bought, 25 drinks would be bought, the total cost would be:
5($9) + 25(0.75) = $63.75
