Question 2 • FL-1200370-Algebra 1-A Semester 1

The cost in dollars, y, of a large pizza with x toppings from Pat’s Pizzeria can be modeled by a linear function. A large pizza with no toppings costs $14.00. A large pizza with 2 toppings costs $17.50.What is the cost of a pizza with 5 toppings? Round to the nearest penny.

Answer
A
$19.00
B
$22.75
C
$43.75
D
$70.00

Explanation

The price increases by $17.50 − $14.00 = $3.50 for 2 toppings, so each topping adds $3.50 ÷ 2 = $1.75. With 5 toppings, the cost is $14.00 + 5($1.75) = $22.75. The correct choice is B, $22.75.
