Mrs. Baker is throwing her class an end-of-the-year pizza party. She has two choices as to where she can buy the pizza from. Pizza Palace has a deal where she can buy 8 pizzas for $124. Patty’s Pizza has a deal where she can buy 9 pizzas for $130. Which pizza shop has the lowest cost per pizza? Choose 1 for Pizza Palace and 2 for Patty’s Pizza.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the cost per pizza for each shop, we can calculate it as follows:

Pizza Palace:

• Cost for 8 pizzas = $124
• Cost per pizza = $124 / 8 = $15.50

Patty’s Pizza:

• Cost for 9 pizzas = $130
• Cost per pizza = $130 / 9 ≈ $14.44 (rounded to two decimal places)

Now comparing the costs:

• Pizza Palace: $15.50 per pizza
• Patty’s Pizza: approximately $14.44 per pizza

Since $14.44 (Patty’s Pizza) is less than $15.50 (Pizza Palace), Patty’s Pizza has the lowest cost per pizza.

Therefore, the answer is 2 for Patty’s Pizza.
