John and 4 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 5 large drinks. The pizza cost $10.00. After using a $4.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.50. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the cost of one large drink.
A. 5d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.50
B. 4d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.88
C. 5d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.70
D. 5d – $10.00 + $4.00 = $13.50; $4.88

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A - 5d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : John and 4 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 5 large drinks. The pizza cost $10.00. After using a $4.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.50.

To write : An equation to model this situation, and find the cost of one large drink.

Solution : Let d be the cost of the drink.

Number of drinks is 5.

The cost of 5 drink is 5d.

The pizza cost $10.00.

Total cost = 5d+$10

After using a $4.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.50.

The equation to model the situation is $5d + 10 - 4 = 13.5$

Solving the equation,

$5d + 6 = 13.5$

$5d = 13.5 - 6$

$5d = 7.5$

$d = \frac{7.5}{5}$

$d = 1.50$

The cost of 1 large drink is $1.50.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

5d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.50
