Answer: Mr Smith bought 7 pepperoni pizza
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
cost of cheese pizza =$11
pepperoni pizza cost =$12.50
let number cheese pizza be represented as c
and number of pepperoni pizza be represented as p
such that the total number of pizza bought which equals 13 can be represented as
c+ p= 13
and total cost of both pizza can be expressed as
11c+ 12.50p =153.50
Step 2 Solving
c+ p= 13
11c+ 12.50p =153.50
By elimination method, Multiply equation 1 by 11 and subtract the new equation from equation 2
11c+ 12.50p =153.50
11c+ 11p=143.
1.5p =10.5
p= 10.5/ 1.5 =7
c+ p= 13
c= 13-p =13-7=6
Therefore Mr Smith bought 6 cheese pizza and 7 pepperoni pizza
