At Joe's Pizzeria, small pizzas cost $7.50, and large pizzas cost $11.00. One day between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM, Joe sold 100 pizzas
and took in $848. How many more small pizzas than large pizzas did
Joe sell during that 6-hour period?
(A) 28
(B) 44
(C) 56
(D) 72

Option B. 44 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the number of large pizzas and s be the number of small pizzas

Then according to the given statement the equations will be:

From equation 1

Putting in equation 2

Putting s=72 in equation 1

How many more small pizzas means we have to find s-l

So,

s-l = 72-28 = 44

Hence,

Option B. 44 is the correct answer

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
