Mrs. Baker is throwing her class an end-of-the-year pizza party. She has two choices as to where she can buy the pizza from. Pizza Palace has a deal where she can buy 8 pizzas for $124. Patty’s Pizza has a deal where she can buy 9 pizzas for $130. Which pizza shop has the lowest cost per pizza? Choose 1 for Pizza Palace and 2 for Patty’s Pizza.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the cost per pizza, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pizzas.

For Pizza Palace: $124 / 8 pizzas = $15.5 per pizza

For Patty's Pizza: $130 / 9 pizzas = $14.4 per pizza

Therefore, Patty's Pizza has the lowest cost per pizza. Choose 2 for Patty's Pizza.
