Answer 1

To find the cost of 15 slices of pizza, we can set up a proportion.

12 slices cost $9.25, so we can set up the proportion:

12 slices / $9.25 = 15 slices / x

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

12x = 9.25 * 15

12x = 138.75

Dividing both sides by 12:

x = 11.57

Therefore, 15 slices of pizza would cost $11.57.
