He ordered three types of pizza: cheese pepperoni and supreme. the cheese pizza cost $6 each the pepperoni cost $9 each and the supreme pizza's cost $12 each. He spent exactly twice as much on the pepperoni pizza's as he did on the cheese pizza's. If the person spent a total of $336 on pizza how many of each type did he buy? \n" ); document.write( "
