Pizza Palace sells cheese pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizzas. Caleb noticed that for every 10 orders of cheese pizza, there were 7 orders of pepperoni pizza, 5 orders of sausage pizza and 8 orders of mushrooms pizza. If there were 35 pepperoni pizzas ordered, how many total pizzas were ordered?

Step-by-step explanation:

cheese : pepperoni : sausage : mushroom =

10 : 7 : 5 : 8

so, in total there are 10+7+5+8 = 30 "business pieces".

to get the total number of pizzas, we need to see how many pizzas are sold per "business piece" ?

we get this from the 35 orders of pepperoni pizzas.

these 35 orders represent 7 "business pieces".

that means 1 "business piece" = 35/7 = 5 pizzas.

that means that 30 "business pieces" are 5×30 = 150

so, in total, 150 pizzas were ordered.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

30
