Q: When Brock Clock was asked what time it was, he said, "Well, the minute hand is pointing directly at one of the twelve numbers on the clock, the hour hand is pointing toward a spot whose nearest.
number is at least five greater than the number the minute hand is pointing toward, the angle formed
by the hands is acute, the sun is shining in the east, and it is not five minutes past the hour." Wow!
What time was it?
Explanation & answer

your answer is option c.

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
