You can put this solution on YOUR website! Joseph and Sean both run pizza shops and have the same costs. Sean marks up 24% more to the cost of his pizza than Joseph. As a result, Sean earns $1.00 more per pizza than Joseph. What are their cost for one pizza?
-------
Joseph cost: x dollars per pizza
Sean cost::: 1.24x dollars per pizza
-----
Equation:
Sean cost - Joseph cost = 1 dollar
1.24x - x = 1
----------
0.24x = 1 dollar
x = $4.17 (Joseph's cost)
1.24x = $5.17 (Sean's cost)
