First lets start by making an equation of the information we have

sydneeod · Answer

So, at the end of the week you end up with 41.8 pounds. It sounds like our amount is going to be 41.8 because that's our total. This means whatever we have will be = to 41.8

can you sort out what the rest of the equation might look like? our initial amount is 155.4 and for each pizza we take away .8 of that

yes you do, try a bit harder. Just make a wild guess even. So far you have 41.8 =
an initial amount of 155.4 and for each pizza you take away .8. As well, you know there will be a variable in there, let's say x.
