Question 1188053
customers pay 150 for the basic pizza and 5 for each additional slice of topping.


formula is:


y = 5 * x + 150


y is the total price.
x is the number of additional slices of meat topping added.


when y = 225, the formula becomes 225 = 5 * x + 150
subtract 150 from both sides of the equation to get:
75 = 5 * x
solve for x to get:
x = 75/5 = 15


the number of additional slices of meat topping = 15.


150 + 5 * 15 = 150 + 75 = 225.
this confirms the number of slices is correct.


solution is that 15 slices of meat topping were added to the basic slice.
