Answer 1

To determine which pizza shop has the lowest cost per pizza, we need to divide the total cost of the pizzas by the number of pizzas.

For Pizza Palace, the cost per pizza would be $124 / 8 = $15.50 per pizza.

For Patty's Pizza, the cost per pizza would be $130 / 9 = $14.44 per pizza.

Therefore, Patty's Pizza has the lowest cost per pizza. The answer is 2.
