Question

Phil sold pizza at the carnival for $1.75 a slice or $9.50 for a whole pizza he sold 76 slices of pizza and 64 whole pizzas he gave 15% of his money to the carnival fund how much money did he have left

Answer 1

Answer:

Total money he had left=629.85

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express Phil's earnings from pizza sales as;

Total earnings from pizza sales=(price per slice×number of pizza slices sold)+(price per whole pizza×number of whole pizzas sold)

where;

Price per slice of pizza=1.75

Number of pizza slices sold=76 slices

Price per whole pizza=9.50 whole pizzas

Number of whole pizzas sold=64

Replacing in the expression above;

Total earnings from pizza sales=(1.75×76)+(9.5×64)=741

Total money he had left=Total earnings from pizza sales-15% of Total earnings

where;

Total earnings from pizzas ales=741

15% of Total earnings=(15/100)×741=111.15

Replacing;

Total money he had left=(741-111.15)=629.85
