Question

Martin orders a pasta dish that is priced at $11.99. He also orders a drink. The total cost for the pasta and drink is $14.48. What is the cost of the drink?

Answer 1

Explanation

Let the cost of the drink be x.

Therefore;

$\begin{gathered} cost\text{ of dish+cost of drinks =total cost} \\ 11.99+x=14.48 \\ x=14.48-11.99 \\ x=2.49 \end{gathered}$

Answer: 2.49 dollars
