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.

Equation: 13 + 4x = 13.20 + 6
4x + 13 = 19.20
4x = 6.2
x = 1.55
The cost of one large drink is $1.55

Hope this helps!! :)
