Apizzeria sells two types of pizza for lunch: pepperoni and cheese. the pepperoni pizza costs $8.50 and the cheese pizza costs $6.00. in one day they sold 45 pizzas for a total of $365. how many cheese pizzas were sold? how many pepperoni pizzas were sold?

Let the no. Of cheese pizzas be x

Let the no. Of pepperoni pizzas be y

x + y = 45 (No. Of pizzas)

x = 45 - y

6x + 8.5y = 365 (cost of pizzas)

6(45-y) + 8.5y = 365

270 - 6y + 8.5y = 365

2.5y = 365 - 270

2.5y = 95

y = 95/2.5

y = 38

x = 7

Therefore 7 cheese pizzas were sold and 38 pepperoni pizzas were sold

Hope this helps!

think about it deeply and passionately about this property
