600 Cheese and 900 Pepperoni

Step-by-step explanation:

Setup the equation with 2c (Cheese) + 2.5p (Pepperoni) = $3450 (Total Made).

In addition to the equation c + p = 1500 (Number of pizzas sold)

Using the second equation (c + p = 1500) solve for one of the variables.

Lets use:

p = 1500 - c Plus this equation into the original equation, 2c + 2.5 (1500 - c) = 3450 Distribute 2.5, 2c + 3750 - 2.5c = 3450 Combine like terms - 0.5c + 3750 = 3450 Solve for c: c = 600 Plus 600 in for c into any equation (lets use c + p = 1500) 600 + p = 1500 P = 900
