Answer 1

Both servings of pancakes cost $8.50

One serving of pancakes cost $4.35

Equation:   1.15 (2x + 1.50) = 11.50

                  2.3x + 1.725 + 11.50

                   2.3x = 9.725

                   x = 4.25 for one serving of pancakes

                   2x = 8.50 for both servings of pancakes
