Question

How many more dollars will you spend if you buy 4 pizzas at Pizza Hot instead of buying 4 pizzas at Little Julius'?

Pizza Hot offers 2 pizzas for 15 dollars. Little Julius' offers 3 pizzas for 18 dollars.

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the cost of buying 4 pizzas at Pizza Hot.

Pizza Hot sells 2 pizzas for $15. Therefore, for 4 pizzas:
\[
\text{Cost for 4 pizzas at Pizza Hot} = 2 \times 15 = 30 \text{ dollars}
\]

Next, let's calculate the cost of buying 4 pizzas at Little Julius'.

Little Julius' sells 3 pizzas for $18. To determine the cost for 4 pizzas, we first find the cost for 3 pizzas and then calculate the cost for an additional pizza.

The cost for 3 pizzas is $18, and since we need 1 additional pizza, we should find the price per pizza:
\[
\text{Price per pizza at Little Julius'} = \frac{18}{3} = 6 \text{ dollars}
\]
The cost for 1 additional pizza is $6.

Therefore, the total cost for 4 pizzas at Little Julius' is:
\[
\text{Cost for 4 pizzas at Little Julius'} = 18 + 6 = 24 \text{ dollars}
\]

Now, let's find the difference in cost between buying 4 pizzas at Pizza Hot and Little Julius':
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Cost at Pizza Hot} - \text{Cost at Little Julius'}
\]
\[
\text{Difference} = 30 - 24 = 6 \text{ dollars}
\]

Thus, you will spend **6 more dollars** if you buy 4 pizzas at Pizza Hot instead of buying 4 pizzas at Little Julius'.
