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

if julie ran 3.6 miles from home to the gym and then walked 0.7 miles to the store she then ran from the store home if her total
o-na [289]
So,

Home ---- gym = 3.6 mi.
gym   ---- store = .7 mi.
store ----- home = x

3.6 + .7 + x = 7.2 mi.

Collect Like Terms

4.3 + x = 7.2

Subtract 4.3 from both sides
x = 2.9

The distance from the store to her home is 2.9 miles.

Allegra has a cell-phone plan that charges $65 per month and $0.10 for every minute that she uses the phone beyond what her plan
Bond [772]
It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
     8.40 = 0.10m
       84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.
