Problema Solution

Wes bought a pizza with 2 topping's from Bill's Pizza Place for $11.00.

Lisa bought a pizza with 5 topping's from Bill's Pizza Place for $14.75.

Each topping at Bill's Pizza costs the same amount.

What is the price per topping at Bill's Pizza Place?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let price of pizza = x and price of topping = y.

For Wes;

x+2y = 11---(1)

for Lisa;

x+5y = 14.75 ----(2)

 

(2)-(1)

3y = 3.75

y = 1.25

 

So the cost of a topping is $1.25.
