Rajiv is buying salad and pizza for a company lunch. Suppose that a bowl of salad costs $5.00, and a slice of pizza costs $2.00. Let E be the amount in dollars that Rajiv spends on salad and pizza. If Rajiv buys SS bowls of salad and P slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends (E) can be represented by the equation E=$5.00S+$2.00P
Now rearrange the equation you wrote above so that PP is written in terms of E and S. The quantity of pizza he buys can be represented by the equation P=E($5.00×S)$2.00
Suppose Rajiv has $40.00 to spend on salad and pizza; that is, E=$40.00E=$40.00.
Complete the following table with the values of SS or PP that make the equation true.
Hint: To complete the first row, determine the number of pizza slices Rajiv can purchase with $40.00, when the number of salad bowls he purchases is 0.
Budget Salad Pizza
(Dollars) (Bowls) (Slices)
40.00 0 20
40.00 4 10
40.00 8 0
