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.

Y = 14,, 2x + y = 17.5 , 2x + 14 = 17.5 , 2x = 3.50 , x = 1.75 , 5x + y = z , 5 (1.75) + 14 = z 8.75 + 14 = z z = $22.75

I think the answer would be 22.75. Since it gives you the price of a pizza with no toppings, then this is your base price. You subtract 14 from 17.50, and then divide the answer by 2 to find out how much each topping costs. (17.50-14= 3.5 /2 = 1.75. The function y= 1.75x+14  describes the situation. y= 1.75(5) +14    y= 22.75
