For every pizza sold, the class makes $5.35 They have already earned $182.90 but they need $750 How many more pizzas must they sell to earn $750? Write and solve an equation for this scenario. If you can, can you show the equation you used.

Answer 1

106 pizzas

Explanation:

The number of more pizzas required to sell for earning $750 is as follows:

Given that

Already earned amount = $182.90 =x

Need to achieved = $750 = y

So, the remaining amount would be

= y - x

= $750 - $182.90

= $567.10

For every pizza sold, it make for $5.35

So, the number of pizza would be

= $567.10 ÷ $5.35

= 106 pizzas
