Question

with rs 500, it is possible to buy 3 pizzas and 1 garlic bread, or 2 pizzas and 4 garlic breads. How many times the cost of a garlic bread is the cost of a pizza

Answer 1

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of pizza be 'p'.

Let the cost of garlic bread be 'g'.

Now, according to question,

3p + 1g = 500                                    -----(i)

and,

2p + 4g = 500                                    -----(ii)

Subracting equations (i) and (ii),

   3p + 1g = 500

(-) 2p + 4g = 500

______________

    1p - 3g = 0

=> 1p = 3g

Hence, cost of 1 pizza is equal to the cost of 3 garlic breads.
