Keagan is going out for pizza with his friends. For $77 total, they can buy "p" pizzas. Each pizza cost $11. How many pizza can they buy? DO NOT LABEL YOUR ANSWER.
The number of pizzas they can buy is given by the equation:
$p \times 11 = 77$
We can solve this equation to find the value of p.
What is the answer
The answer is 7.
To find out how many pizzas they can buy, we need to divide the total cost by the cost of each pizza.
First, let's assign a variable to the number of pizzas Keagan and his friends can buy. Let's call it "p".
We know that each pizza costs $11, so the total cost of "p" pizzas will be 11 times "p", which is 11p.
According to the question, the total cost of pizzas is $77.
So, we can set up an equation to represent this relationship:
11p = $77
To find "p", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 11:
11p / 11 = $77 / 11
Simplifying, we get:
p = $77 / 11
Calculating the division, we find:
p = 7
Therefore, Keagan and his friends can buy 7 pizzas.
