Liem orders a large pizza. The pizza store charges $11.00 for the pizza with cheese and $1.50 for each additional topping. The mathematical equation for the function is y=11+1.5x

Question

, with x
representing the number of additional toppings and y
representing the total price of the pizza. What is the cost of a large pizza with 3 toppings?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the cost of a large pizza with 3 additional toppings, you can use the equation:

\[ y = 11 + 1.5x \]

Where:

• \( y \) is the total price of the pizza.
• \( x \) is the number of additional toppings.

In this case, the number of additional toppings \( x \) is 3.

Now, plug in the value of \( x \):

\[ y = 11 + 1.5(3) \]

Calculate it step by step:

1. Calculate the cost of the toppings: \[ 1.5 \times 3 = 4.5 \]

2. Add that to the base price of the pizza: \[ y = 11 + 4.5 = 15.5 \]

Therefore, the cost of a large pizza with 3 toppings is $15.50.
