Question

At Pepes Pizzas, a new deal gives you 1 1/2 orders of wings for half the price of a single order. without the deal, a single order of wings cost $12. what is the cost of a single order of wings with the deal? please explain!

Answer 1

Given price of single order of wings = $12

And also given that for half the price of single order, we will get
`1(1)/(2)` order of wings with new deal.

Let x be the price of wings with new deal.

Then
`1(1)/(2)` order of wings price =
`1(1)/(2)* x = (3)/(2)*x`

But we are getting at half price of single order =
`(12)/(2)` = $6

Hence
`(3x)/(2) =6`

`x=(6*2)/(3)  = 4$`

So with new deal, price of wings is 4$
