Answer 1

$2.00

Explanation:

Answer 2

$2.00

Explanation:

You can form an equation with these statements, x being the price of cheese pizza and y being the price of pepperoni. Making the equation,

3x+4y=18

3x+2y=12

Solving the equation,

3x+4y=18

6x+4y=24

-3x=-6

x=2

y=3

Solving another way,

2y=6

y=3

x=2

Therefore, the answer is $2.00
