Based on the two different purchases, you can write equations for the price of a hotdog (h) and that of a drink (d). These equations can be solved by your favorite method to find the individual prices.

... 6h +4d = 17.00 . . . . . . Carl's purchase

... 3h +4d = 12.50 . . . . . . Susan's purchase

We can see that the difference in purchase cost (of $4.50) is due entirely to the difference in the number of hotdogs (3). Thus, the price of a hotdog must be

... $4.50/3 = $1.50

The 4 drinks are then ($12.50 -4.50) = $8, so must be $2 each. You don't need to figure the cost of a drink to determine that the appropriate answer choice is ...

... D. $1.50 for a hot dog; $2.00 for a drink.

Lets assume the whole pie is 1, that is all fractions added together have to sum 1.
If Victor eats 1/6 out of 5/6, then the rest is 4/6 of the pie, that is the subtraction of those fractions.

Answer:

C =131.88 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = 2*pi*r

where r is the radius

C = 2 * pi * 21

C = 42 pi

If we approximate pi by 3.14

C = 42(3.14)

C =131.88 meters
