Answer

Find out the how many pizzas are delivered to a customer who pays $80 .

To prove

As given

A restaurant offers delivery for their pizzas.

The total cost is a delivery fee added to the price of the pizzas.

One customer pay $25 to have 2 pizzas delivered.

[tex]Let\ us\assume\ cost\ of\ the\ one\ customer\ pay = x_{1} = 25[/tex]

[tex]Let\ us\assume\ number\ of\ pizza = y_{1} = 2[/tex]

Another customer pays $58 for 5 pizzas.

[tex]Let\ us\assume\ cost\ of\ the\ second\ customer\ pay = x_{2} = 58[/tex]

[tex]Let\ us\assume\ number\ of\ pizza = y_{2} = 5[/tex]

Thus by using the slope formula

[tex]m =\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]

Putting the value in the formula

[tex]m = \frac{5 - 2}{58 - 25}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{3}{33}[/tex]

Simplify the above

[tex]m = \frac{1}{11}[/tex]

This represented one pizza cost is $11.

Thus 2 pizza cost = $11 × 2

                              = $22

Thus

Delivery price = Total cost of 2 pizza including delivery fee - Cost of 2 pizza

                       = $25 - $22

                      = $3

Thus 5 pizza cost = $11 × 5

                              = $55

Thus

Delivery price = Total cost of 5 pizza including delivery fee - Cost of 5 pizza

                       = $58 - $55

                      = $3

Therefore the delivery charge is $3.

Now calculate the number of pizza for the customer who pays $80.

Cost of the pizza = Total cost of the pizza including delivery charges - Delivery charges

                            = $80 - $3

                           = $ 77

Let us assume that the number of pizza for the customer who pays $80 = x

Cost of one pizza = $11

Than the equation becomes

11 × x = 77

[tex]x = \frac{77}{11}[/tex]

x = 7

Therefore the number of pizza are 7 delivered to a customer who pays $80 .




Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not stated, but implied that all pizzas cost the same.  Therefore:

Let d = delivery fee.

Let p = cost of the pizza.

(Now, let's create an equation)

2p + d = 25

5p + d = 58     (We need to find out the values for "p" and "d." Let's find the

                        value for "p" by subtracting "d" and the other terms.)

 2p + d = 25

- 5p + d = 58

-3p        = -33  (divide both sides by -3 to find the value of "p.")

-3p       = - 33

-3             -3

p = 11  (The cost of one pizza is $11.00. Now, let's substitute the

          "p" for 11 into the first equation. The goal is to find the value for "d.")

2(11) + d = 25

22  +  d = 25 (We know that 22 + 3 = 25.)

d = 3

The delivery fee is $3.00.

The cost of the pizza is $11.00.  

How many pizzas are delivered to a customer who pays $80.00?

(Let's substitute the numbers into the new  equation.)

11p + 3 = 80  (Subtract 3 on both sides.  We are finding the value for "p.")

11p = 77         (Divide 11 on both sides.)

p = 7

Therefore, 7 pizzas are delivered to a person who paid $80.00.
