Answer 1

150 is the answer good luck

Answer 2

$1.50

Explanation:

Let cheese pizza be C and mushroom pizza be M

Given 3C+2B+4M+=+12.50

and

3C+2B+2M=8.50

Using elimination

3C+2B+4+=12.50

3C+2B+2M=8.50

------------------------ subtract the second equation from the first one to get

2M=4.00

Solve for M

M+=+2.00 mushroom slice costs $2 each

Using that info, substitute for M in either equation to find C

3C+2B+2M=8.50

3C+2B+22A2=8.50

3C+2B+4=8.50

3C=4.50

C+=1.50
