Question

Principal ordered 100 pizzas for a total of $1255. Cheese pizza was $11.50 each, and Pepperoni pizza was $13.00 each. Write a system of linear equations that can be used to determine c, the number of cheese pizzas the Principal ordered, and p, the number of pepperoni pizzas the Principal ordered.

Answer 1

Answer: c+p=100

11.50c+13p=1255

Step-by-step explanation: Since cheese pizzas cost $11.50 and pepperoni pizzas cost $13.00, then you would plug them into an equation where they equal to the total cost, $1255.

11.50c + 13p = 1255
