Pizza cost $1.50per slice. Use a table and an equation to represent the relationship between the number of slices of pizza bought and the total cost?
Let T be total cost, and N be number of slices:
T=$1.50N
Substitute different values in for N, and arrange the input and output in a table.
N.| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
----------------------------------
T.| 1.50 | 3 | 4.50 | 6
thanks guys
Let t stand for the total cost.
T=$1.50 per slice
A medium pizza contains a slices. At the cost of $1.50 per slice, 8 slices would make the total cost $12.
$2.50 more than one-fourth the cost of a pizza
To represent the relationship between the number of slices of pizza bought and the total cost, we can use a table and an equation.
Table:
Let's create a table that shows the number of slices of pizza bought and the corresponding total cost.
| Number of Slices | Total Cost |
|------------------|------------|
| 1 | $1.50 |
| 2 | $3.00 |
| 3 | $4.50 |
| 4 | $6.00 |
| 5 | $7.50 |
| ... | ... |
Equation:
To find the equation that represents the relationship, we can observe that for each slice of pizza, the cost increases by $1.50. This implies a linear relationship where the total cost is directly proportional to the number of slices.
Let's assume "x" represents the number of slices of pizza bought, and "y" represents the total cost. The equation for this relationship can be written as:
y = 1.50x
In this equation, "x" is the independent variable (the number of slices) and "y" is the dependent variable (the total cost). The coefficient of "x" (1.50) represents the cost per slice.
So, if you want to find the total cost of pizza based on the number of slices, you can plug the value of "x" into the equation and multiply it by 1.50.
