The Pizza Brothers food truck sells cheese pizzas and pepperoni pizzas. One month, the food truck sold 534 cheese pizzas. It sold 321 more pepperoni pizzas than cheese pizzas. How many pizzas did it sell in all?

Question

pizzas

Answer 1

To find the total number of pizzas sold by the Pizza Brothers food truck, we first need to determine how many pepperoni pizzas were sold.

1. The number of cheese pizzas sold is given as 534.
2. The food truck sold 321 more pepperoni pizzas than cheese pizzas. Therefore, we can calculate the number of pepperoni pizzas sold as: \[ \text{Pepperoni pizzas} = \text{Cheese pizzas} + 321 = 534 + 321 = 855 \]

Now that we have the number of cheese pizzas and pepperoni pizzas sold, we can calculate the total number of pizzas sold:

\[ \text{Total pizzas} = \text{Cheese pizzas} + \text{Pepperoni pizzas} \] \[ \text{Total pizzas} = 534 + 855 = 1389 \]

Thus, the total number of pizzas sold is 1389.
