Pizza costs $1.50 per slice. Use a table and an equation to represent the relationship between the number of slices of pizza bought and the total cost.

Let's use the variable x to represent the number of slices of pizza bought and the variable y to represent the total cost.
Table:
| Number of Slices (x) | Total Cost (y) |
|--------------------|---------------|
| 1 | $1.50 |
| 2 | $3.00 |
| 3 | $4.50 |
| 4 | $6.00 |
| ... | ... |
Equation:
To find the equation that represents the relationship between the number of slices of pizza bought and the total cost, we need to consider that the cost per slice is $1.50.
The equation can be written as:
y = 1.50x
This equation states that the total cost (y) is equal to the cost per slice ($1.50) multiplied by the number of slices (x).
For example, if you buy 4 slices of pizza, the total cost (y) would be:
y = 1.50 * 4 = $6.00
Similarly, for any number of slices, you can use the equation to calculate the total cost.
To represent the relationship between the number of pizza slices bought and the total cost, we can create a table and an equation.
Let's assume that "x" represents the number of pizza slices bought and "y" represents the total cost.
Table:
--------------
| x | y |
--------------
| 1 | $1.50 |
| 2 | $3.00 |
| 3 | $4.50 |
| 4 | $6.00 |
| 5 | $7.50 |

Equation:
The equation can be determined by recognizing that the total cost (y) is directly proportional to the number of slices (x). The equation is:
y = 1.50x
Here, 1.50 represents the cost per slice, and x represents the number of slices bought.
For example, if you buy 3 slices of pizza (x = 3), the total cost (y) would be:
y = 1.50 * 3 = $4.50
Similarly, if you buy 5 slices of pizza (x = 5), the total cost (y) would be:
y = 1.50 * 5 = $7.50
This equation can be used to calculate the total cost for any given number of slices of pizza.
