1 answer

To calculate the total cost for you and your three friends to order 2 pieces of pizza and 1 funnel cake each, we need to first establish the cost of the pizza and funnel cake.

Let’s assume:

  • The cost of 1 piece of pizza is \( P \).
  • The cost of 1 funnel cake is \( F \).

Step 1: Calculate the cost for one person.

Each person orders:

  • 2 pieces of pizza
  • 1 funnel cake

The total cost for one person can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Cost for one person} = (2 \times P) + (1 \times F) = 2P + F \]

Step 2: Calculate the total cost for all four people (you and three friends).

Since there are 4 people (you + 3 friends), the total cost can be calculated by multiplying the cost for one person by the number of people: \[ \text{Total cost for four people} = 4 \times (2P + F) \]

Step 3: Distributing the multiplication.

Using the distributive property: \[ \text{Total cost for four people} = 4 \times 2P + 4 \times F = 8P + 4F \]

Final Result

So, the total cost for you and your three friends to order 2 pieces of pizza and 1 funnel cake each is: \[ \text{Total cost} = 8P + 4F \]

To find the exact amount, you would need to substitute the values of \( P \) and \( F \) based on their actual prices.
