Question 2

Large cheese pizzas cost \[tex]$5 each and large one-topping pizzas cost \$[/tex]6 each.

Write an equation that represents the total cost, [tex]T[/tex], of [tex]c[/tex] large cheese pizzas and [tex]d[/tex] large one-topping pizzas.

A. [tex]T = 6c - 5d[/tex]
B. [tex]T = 6c + 5d[/tex]
C. [tex]T = 5c + 6d[/tex]
D. [tex]T = 5c - 6d[/tex]



Answer :

To answer the question about the total cost [tex]\( T \)[/tex] of ordering [tex]\( c \)[/tex] large cheese pizzas and [tex]\( d \)[/tex] large one-topping pizzas at the given costs, carefully assess each option:

1. Large cheese pizzas cost \[tex]$5 each. 2. Large one-topping pizzas cost \$[/tex]6 each.

Given these prices, let's denote:
- [tex]\( c \)[/tex] as the number of large cheese pizzas ordered,
- [tex]\( d \)[/tex] as the number of large one-topping pizzas ordered.

To find the total cost [tex]\( T \)[/tex]:

1. Multiply the cost of one large cheese pizza by the number of large cheese pizzas ordered ([tex]\( 5c \)[/tex]).
2. Multiply the cost of one large one-topping pizza by the number of large one-topping pizzas ordered ([tex]\( 6d \)[/tex]).
3. Add these two amounts together to get the total cost: [tex]\( T = 5c + 6d \)[/tex].

Hence, the correct equation representing the total cost [tex]\( T \)[/tex] of ordering [tex]\( c \)[/tex] large cheese pizzas and [tex]\( d \)[/tex] large one-topping pizzas is:
[tex]\[ T = 5c + 6d \][/tex]

So, the correct option is:
[tex]\[ T = 5c + 6d \][/tex]
