Question

Amir has a $200 budget to spend on a graduation party for his son. He has already purchased $122 worth of drinks and party supplies. He wishes to buy chicken, pizza, or subs for the main course. Prices (including tax) are shown below.





Food Price
Chicken $1.10 per piece
Pizza $11.75 per large
Subs $6.80 per foot





With Amir's budget, which of the following foods could he buy?


7 large pizzas


9 feet of subs


10 large pizzas


71 pieces of chicken

Answer 1

Amir has $200 − $122 = $78 left.

Compute each option:
- 7 pizzas: 7 × $11.75 = $82.25 → too expensive.
- 9 feet of subs: 9 × $6.80 = $61.20 → within budget.
- 10 pizzas: 10 × $11.75 = $117.50 → too expensive.
- 71 pieces of chicken: 71 × $1.10 = $78.10 → $0.10 over budget.

Only the 9 feet of subs can be bought.
