Question

A large pizza at Palanzio's Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido's Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. How many toppings need to be added to a large cheese pizza from Palanzio's Pizzeria and Guido's Pizza in order for the pizzas to cost the same, not including tax? *

Answer 1

2 toppings.

Explanation:

All you do is add each topping cost to the large pizza cost. So add 6.80 and 0.90. And then add 7.30 and 0.65. Keep adding toppings until both of the costs are equal.

6.80+0.90= 7.70 7.30+0.65= 7.95

7.70+0.90=8.60 7.95+0.65=8.60

You added it twice so two toppings.
