Answer:
To find part A you need to find common denominator.
1/3 + 3/5=
5/15 + 9/15= 14/15
His mistake for a is that he didn't find the common denominator and that he just added the fraction as it is. So the corrected version would be 14/15.
To find part B you also need to find the least common denominator.
11/12-5/6=
11/12-10/12=1/12
His mistake was that he didn't find the least common denominator and he subtracted the fraction as it is. The answer corrected would be 1/12.

Answers:
- Pizza Uno = $5.25
- Pizza Duo = $5.60
Those are the costs for a whole small pizza.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let
- x = cost of whole small pizza from Pizza Uno
- y = cost of whole small pizza from Pizza Duo
x and y are some dollar amount, so they cannot be negative numbers. It also doesn't make sense to have them be 0 either. So we'll make them positive.
2/3 of x is equal to 3.50 as the first sentence mentions. This forms the equation (2/3)*x = 3.50
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 to isolate x
(2/3)*x = 3.50
(3/2)*(2/3)*x = (3/2)*3.50
x = 5.25
Pizza Uno charges $5.25 for a whole small pizza.
----------------------------
Pizza Duo charges $4.20 for 3/4 of a small pizza, meaning the equation we need to solve is
(3/4)y = 4.20
We'll use the same idea as the last equation to get...
(3/4)y = 4.20
(4/3)*(3/4)y = (4/3)*4.20
y = 5.60
Pizza Duo charges $5.60 for a whole small pizza.
Pizza Uno is the better deal (assuming both pizzas taste the same or you don't have a preference for either). You would save $5.60 - $5.25 = $0.35 = 35 cents.
I think it is 2,504.
when you round 2,505 it comes out to 2,510.
