Question

A group of friends are deciding to order pizza. If 5 or fewer want pizza, the cost for each person will be $7.00. If more than 5 people want pizza, the cost be $4.00. 8 students want pizza but each already pre-paid $7.00. The friends agree the extra money will go to a movie. How much money will be put toward the movie?

Answer 1

$24.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the cost of pizza

Since 8 > 5, the cost for each person will be $4.00.
Cost of pizza = 4 . 8 = $32.00

Step 2: Calculate money put towards movie

Money put towards movie will be the difference of pre-paid money and the cost of pizza.

Pre-paid money = 7 . 8 = $56.00

Money put towards movie = 56 - 32 = $24.00
