Liem orders a large pizza. The pizza store charges $11.00 for pizza with cheese and $1.50 for each additional topping. The mathematical equation for the function is y=11+1.5x, with x represents the number of additional toppings and y represents the total price of pizza. what is the cost of a large pizza with 3 toppings?

1 answer

To find the cost of a large pizza with 3 toppings using the equation \( y = 11 + 1.5x \), you can substitute \( x \) with 3.

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

Now, calculate \( 1.5 \times 3 \):

\[ 1.5 \times 3 = 4.5 \]

Now substitute that back into the equation:

\[ y = 11 + 4.5 = 15.5 \]

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