Suppose a medium pizza at Vincent's costs $6.75 plus $0.75 for each topping, and the cost of a medium pizza at Original Italian Pizza is $6.15 plus $0.80 per topping. How many toppings would you have to include on your pizza for the price to be the same at both places?

12 toppings and the prize will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

number of toppings = a

Medium pizza at Vincent's

cost  = 6.75 + 0.75a

Medium pizza at Original Italian Pizza

cost  = 6.15 + 0.80a

For the cost to be the same

6.75 + 0.75a = 6.15 + 0.80a

collect like terms

6.75 - 6.15 = 0.80a - 0.75a

0.6  = 0.05a

divide both sides by 0.05

a = 0.6/0.05

a = 12  

12 toppings and the prize will be the same.

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
