Question

a small pizza costs $6 plus an additional price per topping. grayson orders 3 small mushroom pizzas for a total of $24. he wants to know the price of each topping, t. which bar model represents the situation? what is the price of the mushroom topping on each pizza? $6 + t = 8 \
t = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the equation

We have the equation \(6 + t = 8\) (wait, actually from the context, it should be related to the total cost. Wait, the problem says a small pizza costs $6 plus an additional price per topping LXI1, and 3 pizzas cost $24. So the correct equation should be \(3\times(6 + t)=24\), but the given equation in the problem is \(6 + t = 8\)? Wait, maybe there's a typo, but looking at the equation given \(6 + t = 8\), let's solve that. To find \(t\), we subtract 6 from both sides.

Step2: Solve for \(t\)

Starting with \(6 + t = 8\), subtract 6 from both sides: \(t = 8 - 6\)
\(t = 2\)

Wait, but let's check with the total cost. If each pizza is \(6 + t\), and 3 pizzas cost 24, then \(3\times(6 + t)=24\), divide both sides by 3: \(6 + t = 8\), then \(t = 2\). So that matches. So the value of \(t\) is 2.
