Answer 2

Answer:

c + p = 100

11.50c + 13p = 1255

Step-by-step explanation:

c = number of cheese pizzas

p = number of pepperoni pizza

If the school principal ordered 100 pizzas, then the equation would be...

c + p = 100

Since cheese pizzas cost $11.50 and pepperoni pizzas cost $13.00, then you would plug them into an equation where they equal to the total cost, $1255.

11.50c + 13p = 1255

So, your answer is letter choice C.
