Sebastian wanted to order pizzas for $7 each. The delivery charge is $3.50. He has $20.



What is the correct solution for how many pizzas he could order?

Respuesta :

Answer: 2 pizzas with 2.50 left

Step-by-step explanation: First you subtract the 3.50 from the 20, that'll leave you with 16.50 and then from there you subtract 7 from it until you can't anymore

He could order a total of 2 pizzas.

Concept of division:

Division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts.

According to the given question, we have the following data:

  1. Sebastian has a total of $20.
  2. He wanted to order pizzas for $7 each.
  3. The delivery charge is $3.50

So, first of all, we have to pay the delivery charge whether we are ordering a single or bulk. That's why we have to deduct that from the total Sebastian has.

$20 - $3.50 = $16.50

So, now Sebastian has $16.50.

Now, each pizza is for $7.

So, it's clear now that, Sebastian has to divide his total amount by the price of each pizza to get how many pizzas he can order.

Number of pizzas Sebastian can order = (Total amount Sebastian has / price of each pizza)

= ($16.50 / $7)

= 2.36

But wait how can he order a fraction of pizzas so we have to take 2 as our answer.

Therefore, Sebastian could order a total of 2 pizzas.
