Question

Madison and Jim paid $21.08 for 1 large pizza, 2 salads with the same price. The pizza cost $11.70, which was 3 times as much as the cost of one salad. They also used a coupon for $2 off their purchase. What was the cost of one drink?

Answer 1

The cost of the drink was $3.58.

First, you find the cost of the salads, which is 11.70 divided by 3.

The answer is $3.90. Then, you multiply that by two for both salads.

Your answer is $7.80. Then, add the pizza to it. That's $19.50.

Don't forget they had a coupon! Now, you want to find the original price.

Add $2.00 to $21.08, you get $23.08.

Now, subtract $23.08 by $19.50

Your answer is $3.58.

Hope this helps!!
