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 , 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)

1 answer

To find the cost of a large pizza with 3 additional toppings using the function \( y = 11 + 1.5x \), where \( x \) represents the number of additional toppings:

  1. Substitute \( x = 3 \) into the equation:

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

  1. Calculate the additional cost for the toppings:

\[ y = 11 + 4.5 \]

  1. Add the costs together:

\[ y = 15.5 \]

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