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 drink

Answer 1

4d +$13.00 - $6.00 = $13.20; $1.55

Explanation:

Answer 2

A single drink would cost be $1.55. This is because:
13 + 4x - 6 = 13.20.
(13.20 - 13 + 6) = 6.20.
6.20 / 4 = 1.55

Hope this helped.
