Question

Do you wanna order pizza from Little Caesars every week for his coworkers one week he orders for thin crust pizzas in for deep dish pizzas and it cost him $58 the next week he order six thin crust pizzas and three deep dish pizzas and it cost him $63 after paying for the pizzas the last few weeks he's curious how much each pizza cost determine the cost of a thin crust and deep dish pizza and he might invite you next week

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of one thin crust pizza is $6.5

The cost of one deep dish pizza is $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= cost of one thin crust pizza

Let y=cost of one deep dish pizza

If Four thin crust pizzas and four deep dish pizzas cost $58

4x+4y=58.............(i)

Six thin crust pizzas and three deep dish pizzas cost $63

6x+3y=63....................(ii)

We solve equations (i) and (ii) simultaneously

4x+4y=58.............(i)

6x+3y=63.............(ii)

To make the coefficeint of y the same, multiply (i) by 3 and (ii) by 4

[4x+4y=58] X 3

12x+12y=174

[6x+3y=63] X 4

24x+12y=252

Eliminating y by subtracting (iv) from (iii)

12x+12y=174............(iii)

24x+12y=252............(iv)

-12x=-78

x=6.5

Substitute x=6.5 into any of the equations, say (iv)

(24X6.5)+12y=252

156+12y=252

12y=252-156=96

y=96/12=8

x=6.5, y=8
