Question

A pizzeria charges $12 per pizza plus an additional $3 for delivery. Which equation represents the cost of having any number of pizzas delivered?

Answer 1

ANSWER

C = 12p + 3

EXPLANATION

We want to find the equation that represents the cost of having a number of pizzas delivered.

The pizzeria charges $12 per pizza. This means that for p pizzas, the charges will be:

Charges = 12 * p

Charges = 12p

The total cost is the sum of the pizza charges and the delivery charges. That is:

$C=12p+3$

That is the equation.
