Question

John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $14.00. After using a $7.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $12.10. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the cost of one large drink

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of one drink: $1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

P = price of pizza

L = Price of each large drink

Gift certificate discount =$ 7

Net paid= $12.10

P +3L -7 = 12.10

14 +3L -7 =12.10

7+3L =12.10

3L = 12.10 -7 = 5.10

 L = $1.70 for each large drink

hopefully this helped :3

Answer 2

Answer: The equation to model this situation is  3d + $14.00 – $7.00 =     $12.10 and the cost of one large drink is $1.7 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch.

They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $14.00. After using a $7.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $12.10.

let us assume that the numbers of large drinks are represented by d .

Than the equation becomes

Total money spend = Number of drinks × d + Pizza cost  - Gift certificate amount .

Putting all the values in the above

12.10 = 3d + 14.00 - 7.00

Simplify the aboves

12.10 = 3d + 14 - 7

12.10 = 3d + 7

12.10 - 7 = 3d

5.1 = 3d

d = $ 1.7

Therefore the equation to model this situation is  3d + $14.00 – $7.00 = $12.10 and the cost of one large drink is $1.7 .
