Find an algebraic solution for: The owner of a pizza parlor wants to make a profit of 50% of the cost for each pizza sold. It costs $9.50 to make a pizza at what price should each pizza be sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
If the owner wants to make a 50% cost for each pizza, he must sell each pizza for 1.50% of what it costs to make the pizza, therefore, the cost ('c') of the pizza should be:
c=1.5(9.5)
c=$14.25
Each pizza should be sold for $14.25
