Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She’s ordering from a restaurant that charges a $7.50 delivery fee and $14 per pizza. She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $60. Each pizza is cut into 8 slices, and she wonders how many total slices she can afford.

Q: What is the largest number of slices that Jacque can afford?

Lets answer the information by making it look like a budget subtraction:

60 = Total

1. Remove the delivery cost, so you can leave the rest of the budget for your pizzas.

60 - 7.50 = 52.50

2. Now, subtract the cost of pizzas multiple times until you reach it to where you dont have enough for another pizza.

52.50 - 14 = 38.50  Pizza 1

38.50 - 14 = 24.50  Pizza 2

24.50 - 14 = 10.50  Pizza 3

Now, theres not enough to buy another.

So, we know that Jacque can only afford 3 pizzas, but she need to calculate the number of slices.

3. Multiply the number of slices by the number of pizzas.

8 x 3 = 24

So, the largest number is 24 slices.

me! what did you put for this question?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
