Skylar Daugherty · Answer 1

multiply 6 by 8 and 4 by 5 and add them to get the total cost of the soda and pizza

D is the correct equation

Ciara Pace · Answer 2

The answer to this question would be: D. 200>6P (8.00) + 4S (5.00)

Michaela is planning a pizza party for 48 people and she uses 12-pack of soda and 8-slice pizza. That means the pack of soda she needs would be:

48 people / (12soda/pack) = 4 pack

Then, number the pizza she needs:

48 people / 8 (slice/pizza) = 6 pizza

She has $200 so the price she can afford should be lower than that. The function would be:

the money she has > number of pizza (price of pizza) + number of soda (price of soda)

200>6P (8.00) + 4S (5.00)
