Part B
Susie wants to buy 5 slices of pizza and a liter of soda that costs $5 for her and her friends. How much money does Susie need?

Answer 1

A) $3

B) $20

Explanation:

First, find the cost of the pizza slice.

If she gave the lunch lady $10 and received $7 back, the pizza slice was $3.

This cost would give her $7 from the $10 that she paid.

Now, find how much money Susie needs.

Since each pizza slice is $3, we can find how much money the pizza will cost by multiplying 5 by 3:

5(3)

= 15

Add 5 to this, since the soda is $5

15 + 5

= 20

So, Susie will need $20

Answer 2

$3 per slice

part b:

5x3=15 fir pizza. add $5 for soda, and the total is $20
