Question

The coach has $400 to spend on the end of season party. She

purchases awards for $80 and decorations for $35. She will use the
remaining money to order pizza. If pizzas cost $12 each, what is the
most pizzas can she buy?

Answer 1

Answer 23 pizzas
Explain

80+35+12x = 400
Subtract 80 and 35 from both sides to combine like terms
12x = 285
Divide both sides by 12
X = 23.75
She can buy 23 pizzas at $12 for $276
Plus $80 and $35 for grand total of $391
