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
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.
Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.
Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:
0.75x + 3y = 9 (1)
Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:
x = 2y
x - 2y = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2
Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.
3.5 + 2 = 2x - 10
5.5 = 2x -10
+10 +10
—————————
15.5 = 2x

7.75 = x
7.75 is the answer
