Jimmy wants to order a pizza at a new place. The large pizza costs $10.00 and is cut into 8 slices. The first topping costs $2.00, the next 2 toppings cost $1.00 each and the rest of the toppings cost $0.50. If he orders a large pizza with pepperoni, sausage, ham, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and pineapple. How much will his pizza cost per slice? Let's be accurate as possible.
The pizza costs $10 and the first topping, pepperoni costs $2 so right now it costs 10 = 2 = $12.00. The next 2 toppings, sausage and ham, cost $1.00 each so 2 * 1 = $2.00. The remaining toppings, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and pineapple, cost $0.50 each so they cost 4 * .50 = $2.00. All total, Jimmy's pizza costs 12 + 2 + 2 = $16.00. The pizza is sliced into 8 pieces and the pizza costs $16 so each slice costs 16 / 8 = $2.00 a slice.
The answer: 2.
