A |arge cheese pizza costs $18. Each topping you add on costs $1.50. How much would it cost to get a large cheese pizza with #c# toppings added?

Answer 1

To calculate the cost of a large cheese pizza with ( c ) toppings added, you would add the cost of the pizza to the cost of the toppings.

( \text{Cost of pizza} = $18 )

( \text{Cost of } c \text{ toppings} = 1.50c )

Total cost = Cost of pizza + Cost of toppings

Total cost = $18 + $1.50c

#A = 1.50c + 18#

where

#A# is amount and #c# is toppings added

The constant price is #18# dollars, which never changes and for every topping you get, it costs #$1.50#. If you got no toppings, sub in #0# for #c# to get #$18#.
