Marcy buys a box containing 5 pizzas at the supermarket. The box of pizzas costs $24.25 and Marcy is charged an additional $1.21 in tax. She figures, with the tax, she paid $8.47 for each pizza. Estimate the cost of each pizza. Is Marcy's calculation reasonable?

She paid ABOUT $5.10, the absolute cost was $5.09 for EACH pizza. Yes, her estimation was reasonable.
