Each pizza costs $11 and the delivery fee is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want an interpretation of the equation.

The total cost of an order is the sum of any fixed cost (such as a delivery fee) and the variable cost.

Here, the variable cost is the cost of some number of pizzas. It is proportional to the number of pizzas. In the equation, it is represented by 11p, where p is the number of pizzas. The cost of each pizza must be $11, since the cost of p pizzas is 11p.

The equation's two parts are a fixed cost of $5 and a variable cost of $11 per pizza. The best description is ...

Each pizza costs $11 and the delivery fee is $5
