Question

A group of three friends

order a combo meal which
includes two slices of pizza
and a drink. Each drink is
priced at $2.50. If the
combined total is $31.50, how
much is the cost of a slice o
pizza?

Answer 1

$4

Explanation:

Each of the three friends orders a combo. If each drink is $2.50 and there are three drinks, that means the total cost of the pizza is $24. There are three combos, each with two slices of pizza, meaning there are six slices of pizza total. Then you divide 24 (the total cost of the pizza) by 6 (the total amount of slices), getting $4 per slice.
