Friday night , a pizza parlor sold 5 large pizzas and some medium pizzas.The pizza parlor made a total of 291 . How many medium pizzas were sold?
Let's set up an equation to solve this problem. Let's say the cost of each large pizza is L dollars and the cost of each medium pizza is M dollars.
We know that 5 large pizzas were sold, so the total cost of large pizzas is 5L dollars.
Let's assume X medium pizzas were sold. The total cost of the medium pizzas would be X * M dollars.
Given that the total amount made from selling both large and medium pizzas is 291 dollars, we can write the equation as:
5L + X * M = 291
Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to solve for both the number of medium pizzas and the cost of each large and medium pizza. We would need additional information to find a specific solution.
If you have any additional information, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you further.
To find out how many medium pizzas were sold, we need to use the information given.
Let's assume a large pizza costs L dollars and a medium pizza costs M dollars.
According to the question, the pizza parlor sold 5 large pizzas. Therefore, the total cost of the large pizzas is 5L.
The question also tells us that the parlor made a total of $291. So, the equation we can form is:
5L + cost of medium pizzas = $291
Now, we need additional information to solve for the number of medium pizzas sold. Specifically, we need to know the cost of a medium pizza (M).
If you have the cost of a medium pizza, plug it into the equation and solve for the number of medium pizzas.
if they made only large and medium, then 291-5 = 286 mediums
seems kinda lop-sided to me.
