CS 2.1: Sharing Pizza – Comparison Strategies

The dining room at Camp Chargers has two sizes of tables. A large table seats ten people and a small table seats eight

people. When the campers come for dinner one night, there are four pizzas on each large table and three pizzas on

each small table.

A. The campers at each table share the pizzas equally. Does a person sitting at the small table get the same

amount of pizza as a person sitting at a large table? Solve the problem as many ways as you can! Explain your

reasoning.

B. Selena wonders whether a person at a small table or a person at a large table gets more pizza. She uses two

ratios, 8:3 and 10:4. She says:

CS 2.2: Comparing Pizza Prices – Scaling Rates

Juliana is in charge of ordering pizzas for a camp dinner. She wonders

whether to order the pizzas from Royal Pizza or Howdy’s Pizza.

What is the ratio of pizzas to price ($)for each business?

Howdy’s Pizza:

Royal Pizza:

Each of these ratios is a _____________, a comparison of two

quantities measured in different units.

Each pizzeria allows customers to use the same pricing rate for fewer or more pizzas than the listed number. You can

only use the ads to find the cost for any number of pizzas you want to purchase. One way to find the costs is to build a

_____________ __________________. This is a table that shows the prices for different numbers of pizzas.

As the campers plan their pizza dinner, they need to calculate the costs for many different numbers of pizzas.

A. Complete the table with the prices for each of the numbers of pizzas shown for Howdy’s Pizza:

Number of Pizzas

1 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 100 150 200

Price of $120

1. What is the price for one pizza from Howdy’s Pizza?

This is called a unit rate. A unit rate is a rate in which the second quantity is 1 unit. In this case we are

talking about the price per pizza (one pizza).

2. What is the price for 8 pizzas from Howdy’s Pizza? Show how you found your answer.

3. What is the price for 27 pizzas from Howdy’s Pizza? Show how you found your answer.

4. What is the price for 53 pizzas from Howdy’s Pizza? Show how you found your answer.

6

B. Complete the table with the prices for each of the numbers of pizzas shown for Royal Pizza:

Number of Pizzas

1 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 100 150 200

Price

$195

5. What is the price for one pizza from Royal Pizza? Again, this is called a unit rate.

6. What is the price for 8 pizzas from Royal Pizza? Show how you found your answer.

7. What is the price for 27 pizzas from Royal Pizza? Show how you found your answer.

8. What is the price for 53 pizzas from Royal Pizza? Show how you found your answer.

C. If you know the price of one pizza (the unit rate), how can you find the price of additional numbers of pizzas?

One strategy would be to write an equation:

1. For each pizza place, write an equation for the total price (P) for any number of pizzas (n).

Hint: Price = Price Per Pizza × Number of Pizzas

Price = Unit Rate × Number of Pizzas

Howdy’s Pizza Equation: ____________ = _____________________

Royal Pizza Equation: ____________ = _____________________

2. How does having equations help you solve problems such as those in Question A?

3. Use your equations to find the price of 115 pizzas from each pizza place. Show your work.

Howdy’s Pizza Equation:

Royal Pizza Equation:

7

D. On the coordinate plane below, plot the data for both pizza places (use different colors for the two places).

1. Give your graph a title and label the axes.

2. Create a key so that it is clear which graph goes with which pizza place.

3. Think about how to scale your graph on each axis before you start plotting points.

4. Look at the tables that you created on pages 5 and 6 so that you can find the coordinates to plot.

Number of pizzas will be your x-value, price will be your y-value

(Number of pizzas, Price) (x,y)

5. What do you notice about the graphs of the pizza places?

6. Which pizza place is more expensive? How can you tell based on the graph?

Homework – CS 2.2 Zaption – Comparing and Scaling Rates

Complete the problems on your own and then correct with the Zaption.

1. Maralah can drive her car 580 miles at a steady speed using 20 gallons

of gasoline.

a. Complete the rate table.

b. What are the two unit rates?

c. Graph the points on the coordinate grids.

d. Write two equations that relate miles and gallons of gasoline (use m for miles and g for gallons of gasoline).

e. Use one equation to find how many miles she can travel using 14 gallons of gasoline.

9

CS 2.3: Finding Costs – Unit Rate and Constant of Proportionality

The unit rate of one pizza at Howdy’s is $13. The equation P = 13n relates the price of the pizza and the number of

pizzas. This equation represents a ____________________________ ____________________________________,

because you multiply one variable by a constant number to get the value of the other variable. The constant multiplier

is called the ________________________ _____ _____________________________________.

If a delivery charge of $5 is added to the cost, the relationship is no longer proportional.

P = 13n + 5 is not a proportional relationship.

How can you recognize a proportional relationship from a table, graph, or equation?

A. FreshFoods has oranges on sale at 10 for $2. This is a ratio or rate.

1. What is the cost per orange? This is a unit rate, because we are talking about the price of one orange.

2. How many oranges can you buy for $1? This is also a unit rate, because we are talking about how many

oranges you can get for $1.

3. Complete the rate table:

Number of Oranges, n 10 1 20 11

Cost, C $2 $1

$2.60

4. How many oranges can you buy for $5?

5. How much do 25 oranges cost?

6. The equation n = 5C relates cost, C, to number of oranges, n.

a. What does this equation tell you about the relationship between the number of oranges and the cost of

the oranges?

b. What is another equation relating these same two variables? What information does this other

equation give you?

c. Identify the two unit rates in the equations. What information do the unit rates give you?

d. How does the constant of proportionality relate to the unit rate?

10

7. Graph the two equations for the oranges problem on separate coordinate grids.

a. Think about how to scale your graph on each axis before you start plotting points.

b. Look at the tables that you created on page 9 so that you can find coordinates to plot.

Cost of Oranges Cost of Oranges

Equation: __________________ Equation: n = 5C

(oranges, cost) (x,y) (cost, oranges) (x,y)

B. Noralie’s car uses 20 gallons of gas to go 600 miles.

Rate Table

0 1 2 4 10 10.5

0 30 60 120

Find the missing values in the table. Find the unit rate (miles per gallon) by using the table: How can you tell by looking the table that this is a proportional relationship?

Graph Find the unit rate (miles per gallon) by using the graph: What does (1,30) mean?

Use the graph to find how many miles she can drive with 4 gallons of gas. How can you tell by looking the graph that this is a proportional relationship?

Equation Find the equation for this situation: How can you tell by looking the equation that this is a proportional relationship?
