Question

Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She's ordering from a restaurant that charges a \$7.50$7.50dollar sign, 7, point, 50 delivery fee and \$14$14dollar sign, 14 per pizza. She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under \$60$60dollar sign, 60.
Each pizza is cut into 888 slices, and she wonders how many total slices she can afford.

Let PPP represent the number of pizzas that Jacque buys.

1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Delivery fee = $7.50

Price per pizza = $14

Planned amount = $60

7.50 + 14p < 60

Subtract 7.50 from both sides

14p < 60 - 7.50

14p < 52.50

Divide both sides by 14

p < 52.50 / 14

p < 3.75

Each pizza is cut into 8 slices

Total slices she can afford = 3.75 × 8

= 30 slices
