Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Four friends go out to lunch together.

For what number of toppings is the price of a personal pizza the same as a calzone?

Let us represent the number of toppings as x

We need to know the price of a personal pizza and the price of a calzone

Mike orders a personal pizza with 2 toppings for $7.00.

2x = $7

x = $7/2

x = $3.50

Dustin orders a personal pizza with 5 toppings for $9.25.

5x = $9.25

x = $9.25/5

x = $1.85

Lucas orders a calzone with 1 topping for $5.75.

x = $5.75

Will orders a calzone with 4 toppings for $8.75.

4x = 8.75

x = 8.75/4

x =2.1875
