Problema Solution

A medium cheese pizza costs $6.35 plus $0.70 for each additional topping. If the pizza

ordered costs $9.85, write an equation to describe this problem. Hint: Let “t” be the number of toppings ordered

Answer provided by our tutors

cost = 6.35 + .70x, where x is the number of additional toppings.  if the pizza costs 9.85, the equation can be

9.85 = 6.35 + .70x which would then be solved for x

3.50 = .70x

5 = x, so there are 5 extra toppings
