A team mom ordered 100 pizzas for $1255. Cheese pizzas cost $11.50 each and pepperoni pizzas cost $13.00 each. Identify and define your
variables. Write a sistem of equations.
c * 11.5 + p * 13 = 1255
c + p = 100
To solve this problem, let's define the variables:
Let "C" represent the number of cheese pizzas.
Let "P" represent the number of pepperoni pizzas.
Now, let's set up a system of equations based on the given information:
Equation 1: The total number of pizzas is 100
C + P = 100
Equation 2: The total cost of the pizzas is $1255
11.50C + 13.00P = 1255
These two equations form a system of linear equations that can be solved simultaneously to find the values of C and P.
