Question

John wnats to order 5 (3 topping) medium pizzas each topping cost $0.50. A medium pizza cost $8.00. How would you write this as an equation?

Answer 1

5 Pizzas
3 toppings on each

5x3 = 15 toppings total

5 Total Medium Pizzas = Each are 8.00$
15 Total Toppings = Each are 0.50$

8.00 x 5 = 40.00$
0.50 x 15 = 7.50 $

40.00 + 7.50 = 47.50$

47 dollars and 50 cents will be your answer.

As an equation it will be (5 x 8.00) + (3 x 0.50) = x
