Answer 1

Answer:

Pizza Uno offers $5.25 for a small pizza and Pizza Duo offers $5.60 for a small pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Pizza Uno:

1. If 2/3 of a Pizza costs $3.50, divide it by 2.
2. 3.50 ÷ 2 = 1.75
3. For each 1/3 it costs $1.75
4. Multiply 1.75 by 3 to get a whole pizza.
5. 1.75 × 3 = 5.25

For pizza Duo: (the "%" is actually 3/4)

1. If 3/4 of a pizza costs $4.20, divide it by each 1/4 you get (3).
2. 4.20 ÷ 3 = 1.40
3. Each fourth (1/4) costs $1.40 each
4. Multiply 1.40 by 4 to get a whole pizza
5. 1.40 × 4 = 5.60
