Alarge pizza at palanzio’s pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. the cost of a large cheese pizza at guido’s pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. how many toppings need to be added to a large cheese pizza from palanzio’s pizzeria and guido’s pizza in order for the pizzas to cost the same, not including the tax?

Let's begin by assigning a letter to represent our unknown:    x = # of toppings to be added to each pizza Now let's come up with expressions for the cost of each pizza with its toppings:    Palanxio's Pizza:  6.80 + 0.90x    Guido's Pizza:  7.30 + 0.65x Now let's equate the costs of both pizzas and solve for our unknown (x):    6.80 + 0.90x = 7.30 + 0.65x    0.90x - 0.65x = 7.30 - 6.80    0.25x = 0.50    x = 0.50/0.25    x = 2 toppings to be added to each pizza Finally, we can verify our answer by plugging it back into our equation and see if both costs are the same:    6.80 + 0.90x = 7.30 + 0.65x       [equation]    6.80 + 0.90(2) = 7.30 + 0.65(2)  [answer plug-in]    6.80 + 1.80 = 7.30 + 1.30    $8.60 = $8.60  [both costs are the same] Since both costs are the same, we are confident that our answer is correct.
