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.
