Answer:
42.50 = 8.50p
Solution of the equation : p = 5
The can buy 5 pizza.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Total cost allocated for buying pizza C = $42.50
Cost of one pizza c = $8.50
Number of pizza they can buy = p
This can be expressed in an equation as;
Total cost = cost per pizza × number of pizza
C = pc
Substituting the values of C and c;
42.50 = 8.50p
We can solve the derived equation for p;
p = 42.50/8.50
p = 5
