Question

Each pepperoni slice is 78 of an inch long and costs $0.03. Exactly enough pepperoni slices are laid end to end to have a total length of 56 inches. What is the total cost of these pepperoni slices?

Answer 1

The total cost of these pepperoni slices is $1.92

What is the total cost of these pepperoni slices?

Each slice measures 7/8 of an inch. Here we have N slices, such that the measure of the N slices is 56 inches, then we have:

N*(7/8 in) = 56 in

Now we can find the value of N, the number of slices used:

N = (8/7)*56 = 64

And each slice costs $0.03, then the cost of the 64 slices is:

C = $0.03*64  = $1.92

The total cost of these pepperoni slices is $1.92
