Question

You are having a party and buy food for the guests. You order 1 tray of chips and dip for $9.25, 4 pizzas for $10.50 each, and 1 cake for $24. There is a special on the pizzas, so they are 1/3 off. What is the total price of the food?

Answer 1

Since i bought 1 tray of chips, and a cake, the equation is:

$9.25 + 24 = 33.25$

Now for the pizza, since i bought 4 pizzas for 10.50 each, with 1/3 off. The equation is:

$10.50 * 4 = 42$

The special is 1/3 for the pizzas:

$1/3 * 42 = 14$

Now adding the prices its:

$33.25 + 14 = 47.25$

The total: $47.25

you're welcome :D
