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 EE be the amount in dollars that Rajiv spends on salad and pizza. If Rajiv buys SS bowls of salad and PP slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends (EE) 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 EE and SS. 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.
