A local pizza shop has a membership program for frequent buyers. The membership costs $20 per month and members get a discounted price of $1.25 per slice of pizza. Jaya purchased a membership to this pizza shop. How much would Jaya have to pay the pizza shop if she bought 16 slices of pizza this month? What would be the monthly cost for x slices of pizza?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Monthly cost with 16 slices:
Monthly cost with x slices:
First, let's calculate how much Jaya would have to pay for 16 slices of pizza with her membership.
Each slice of pizza costs $1.25 with the membership, so for 16 slices, Jaya would have to pay 16 * $1.25 = $<<16*1.25=20>>20.
So, Jaya would have to pay $20 for 16 slices of pizza this month.
Now, let's calculate the monthly cost for x slices of pizza.
The monthly cost for a membership is $20.
Each slice of pizza with the membership costs $1.25.
So, the monthly cost for x slices of pizza would be $20 + $1.25 * x.
