Question

The number of slices of pepperoni needed by a pizza restaurant is given by the equation p = 14n. In this equation, n is the number of pizzas the restaurant will make. How many slices of pepperoni are needed to make 40 pizzas?

A. 14
B. 560
C. 54
D. 40

Answer 1

If N is the number of pizza’s the restraunt will make and the equation tells us that the restraunt will make 40 pizza’s, I believe this turns the equation into p=14(40).

Answer 2

The slices of pepperoni are 560.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given by

`p=14 n`

We need to calculate the slices of pepperoni are needed to make 40 pizzas

Using given equation

`p=14n`

Where, p = number of slices

n = number of pizza

Put the value of n in the equation

`p = 14*40`

`p=560`

Hence, The slices of pepperoni are 560.
