Q2. - Algebra 1

Question

A popular pizza parlor charges \(12 for a large cheese pizza plus \)1.50 for each additional topping. Write an equation in slope intercept form for the total cost C of a pizza with t toppings.  

 

1. $C=12t+1.50$
2. $C=13.50t$
3. $C=12+1.50t$
4. $C=1.50t-12$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The correct option is represented by C.

Step 1. Determine the formula that can be used.

The standard form associated with the slope and the intercept form related to the line that is straight $y=mx+c$ in which the slope is represented by m and the y-intercept is represented by c can be used to write the required equation.

Step 2. Take the help of the obtained method.

Take the help of obtained standard form represented by $y=mx+c$ in which the required values can be filled by using the provided notations and the slope which is in the form of addition charges and y-intercept which is in the form of prize associated with the pizza in large size.

$C=12+1.50t$

Step 3. Write the conclusion.

The obtained equation is $C=12+1.50t$ which is same as in option C.
