Joey’s pizza sells large cheese pizzas for $12.00. Each additional topping costs $0.50. Basketball Boosters bought 12 large pizzas, each with 3 toppings. There are 8 slices per pizza. How much does it cost per slice? Round to the nearest cent.

So first you do $0.50 x 3 = 1.5

then you add that to $12.00

$12.00 + 1.5 = 13.5

13.5 is the cost of one pizza.

Since they bought 12:

The total cost of the 12 pizza is $162 <== not important

13.5 divided by 8 is 1.687

round 1.56875 to the nearest cent 1.7 = $2

so each slice costs $2
