One pizza is $12 and a cake is $18. If Matt has $84, how many pizzas can he buy at most and still afford to buy a cake

Answer:

5 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you subtract 18 so that you know that there is at least one cake.

84 - 18 = 66

When you get 66 dollars remaining, you divide it by 12 to see how many you can afford.

66/12 = 5.5

So because you can’t say you have an additonal amount of money, you would actually round down to 5.

So Matt can buy a total of 5 pizzas and 1 cake.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of pizzas Matt can buy while still being able to afford a cake set up an inequality. The inequality should look like [tex]84\geq 12x+18[/tex]  where x is the number of pizzas Matt bought. Then, solve the inequality by first subtracting 18 from both sides, [tex]66\geq 12x[/tex]. Next, divide both sides by 12, [tex]5.5\geq x[/tex]. This means that Matt can buy 5 pizzas. At first, it might seem like you should round up; however, if you rounded up at all then Matt could not afford the cake, so you must round down.
