The question does not have too many restrictions. You need to pick the pizza sizes and to be given the price of each pizza, and decide how many pieces each adult and each child is expected to eat. You need to know if each pizza is cut into 6, or 8, or 12 "slices". What is ALL of the given information? If some datum is not given, then YOU need to pick it.
