Question

John and 3 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 4 large drinks. The pizza cost $13.00. After using a $6.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.20. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the cost of one large drink.

4d + $13.00 – $6.00 = $13.20; $1.60


3d + $13.00 – $6.00 = $13.20; $2.07


4d – $13.00 + $6.00 = $13.20; $6.73


4d + $13.00 – $6.00 = $13.20; $1.55

Answer 1

D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

You would add $6.00 to $13.20, making 19.20, subtracting 4 x $1.55 (6.2) leaves you with $13, the cost of the pizza. So therefore, it would be 4d + $13.00 – $6.00 = $13.20; $1.55.
