Answer:

The pizza cost 5.04 in 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One: set the price of the pizza in 1980 equal to the price in 2000

$4.99 ?

=

1980 2000

Step two: Divide 1980 by 2000

1980 / 2000 = 0.99

Step Three: Divide 4.99 by 0.99

Reason: You know that 1980/0.99= 2000 and what ever you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator and vice versa.

4.99 / 0.99 = 5.0404040

Step Four: Answer

The pizza cost 5.04 in 2000

Keep doing this until you get all of the years (2015 and 1981) pizza prices
