1. Large pizzas cost $12.50 and small pizzas cost $9.00. The pizza parlor sold 38 pizzas with a total value of $415.50. How many of each type did the pizza parlor sell?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of small pizzas sold, then '38-x' represents the number of large pizzas sold


Sold for the number of small pizzas sold:

415.50 = 9x + 12.5(38-x)

-----------------

solve for x

-----------------

x=17


38-17 = 21


So 17 small pizzas and 21 large pizzas were sold.
