Answer:

Restaurant would make more money by slicing each pizza into fifths.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a restaurant charges $6.50 for a slice of pizza that is 1/3 of a pizza. This means money earned from one pizza would be [tex]3\times \$6.50=\$19.50[/tex], when restaurant sells a pizza slicing into thirds.

We are also told that restaurant charges four dollars for a slice that is 1/5 of a pizza. This means money earned from one pizza would be [tex]5\times \$4=\$20[/tex], when restaurant sells a pizza slicing into fifths.

Since money earned from pizza sliced into fifths ($20) is greater than money earned from pizza sliced into thirds ($19.5), therefore, restaurant would make more money by slicing each pizza into fifths.
