Question

John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $12.00. They spend a total of $16.95. Find the cost of one large drink.

A. $14.48
B. $1.65
C. $1.70
D. $2.48

Answer 1

Let x be the price of each large drink. The equation would be:

$12(1) + 3x = $16.95
3x = $16.95 - $12
3x = 4.95
x = 4.95/3
x = $1.65

The answer is B.

I hope I was able to explain it clearly :)
