Mrs. Taylor is planning a pizza party for her students. She plans to purchase cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza for her students
to enjoy. Cheese pizzas cost $8 each and pepperoni pizzas cost $11 each. She needs to purchase at least 12 pizzas, while spending no more than $180. What are two combinations of cheese and pepperoni pizzas that Mrs. Taylor can purchase without exceeding her spending limit?
Let x represent the number of cheese pizzas purchased and y represent the number of pepperoni pizzas purchased.
there are 18 pieces of dark chocolate and the ratio of dark and white is 3:2 so we can divide 18 by 3.
18/3 = 6.
This means the ratio of dark chocolate to white as a 1:1 ratio would be 6:6 so we can multiply 6 by 2 to give us the total amount of pieces of white chocolate.
