Question

Bella's Pizza Shop charges $4.50 for a small pizza, $7 for a medium pizza, and $9 for a large pizza. Toppings cost extra depending on the size of the pizza ordered. Bruce ordered a large pizza with three toppings that cost a total of $12.60. What is the unit rate of cost per number of toppings for a large pizza? Please show your work.

Answer 1

The unit price of each topping is $1.40. Divide $12.60 by the 3 toppings. That will give you the price of all 3 toppings together which is $4.20. Divide $4.20 by 3 and that will give you the unit price of each individual topping which is $1.40. To check your answer, multiply $1.40 by 3 which is $4.20. Then, multiply $4.20 by 3 which gives you the whole price which is $12.60
