Respuesta :

There are 48 olives on 6 slices of pizza, and there are 9 slices of pizza with 72 olives on them.

Answer:

As per the statement:

Joe's pizzeria sells pizzas topped with olivies.

To stay within budget, number of olives on each pizza is given by the equation:

[tex]v = 8s[/tex]

where,

v is the number of olivies

s is the number of slices.

We have to find how many olvies are on 6 slices of pizza.

⇒s= 6

then;

[tex]v = 8 \cdot 6 = 48[/tex]

Also find how many slices of pizza are on 72 olivies.

⇒v = 72

then;

[tex]72 = 8s[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8 we have;

9 = s

or

s=9

Therefore, 48  olvies are on 6 slices of pizza, and 72 olivies  are on 9 slices of pizza.
