Answer 1

To determine which pizza shop has the lowest cost per pizza, we can calculate the cost per pizza for each deal:

1. First pizza shop:

   • Cost for 8 pizzas: 124 patties
   • Cost per pizza: \( \frac{124 \text{ patties}}{8 \text{ pizzas}} = 15.5 \text{ patties per pizza} \)

2. Second pizza shop:

   • Cost for 9 pizzas: 130 patties
   • Cost per pizza: \( \frac{130 \text{ patties}}{9 \text{ pizzas}} \approx 14.44 \text{ patties per pizza} \)

Now comparing the two:

• First pizza shop: 15.5 patties per pizza
• Second pizza shop: approximately 14.44 patties per pizza

Conclusion: The second pizza shop has the lowest cost per pizza at approximately 14.44 patties per pizza.
