If the total of 3 pizzas and a salad is $38.95 and the salad costed $11.98 and we want to get to the cost of 1 pizza then we need to subtract $11.98 out of the total, so $38.95-$11.98 which is equal to $26.97. Natalia bought 3 pizzas in total, so if we divide it by 3 then we should get the cost of 1 pizza. So, $26.97/3 and the answer to that should be $8.99 and that means that each pizza should cost $8.99.
