Complete question;
A booster club paid for pizzas for an end of season party. They paid $13 for each pepperoni pizza and $11 for each plain pizza. The club bought a
total of 18 pizzas for the party and paid a total of $212.
Drag and drop the numbers to the boxes to create an equation which models this situation if x = the number of pepperoni pizzas and y = the number of plain pizzas bought.
Answer:
13x + 11y = 212
Step-by-step explanation:
They bought 2 different recipe of pizza. The first is the pepperoni pizza and the second kind is the plain pizza. The pepperoni pizza cost $13 each while the plain Pizza cost $11 each. The total number of pizza bought is 18 in number.
The total cost of the pizza is also $212.
number of pizza bought = 18
total cost of pizza = $212
x = the number of pepperoni pizzas
y = the number of plain pizzas
The number of pepperoni pizzas multiply by the cost for each will give the cost of the pepperoni pizzas. This same method is applied to get the cost of the plain pizzas.
Therefore, adding the individual cost of the kinds of pizza will give the total cost of the pizzas.
13x + 11y = 212
