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?
Monthly cost with 16 slices:
Monthly cost with x slices:
If Jaya bought 16 slices of pizza this month, she would have to pay:
$1.25 per slice x 16 slices = $<<1.25*16=20>>20
So Jaya would have to pay $20 for 16 slices of pizza this month.
The monthly cost for x slices of pizza would be:
$1.25 per slice x x slices = $1.25x
In addition to that, she would have to pay the membership cost of $20 per month.
So the monthly cost for x slices of pizza would be $1.25x + $20.
