Question

Please help me

Answer 1

John and 2 friends are going out for lunch. They split one pizza and each had a large drink. He determined that the cost of three drinks plus $3.00 is only $1.55 less than the cost of a pizza. A pizza is six and one-half times the cost of one drink. What is the cost of a drink?

Answer 2

@AccessDenied I need you again !

Answer 3

Thanks

Answer 4

3 drinks +$3 = pizza - $1.55

pizza= 6½ × drink

Answer 5

3d+3=p-1.55
p=6.5d

Answer 6

Should I use the substitution method?

Answer 7

lets work further...

3 drinks +$3 = pizza - $1.55 add $1.55 dollar to both sides ( Because if saying that pizza is 1.55 dollars less than, is same as saying that drinks +$3 is 1.55 more than the pizza )

3 d +$3 = p - $1.55
3 d +$3 +$1.55= p
3 d +$4.55= p

So you now have,

3 d +$4.55= p
p= 6.5 d

yes. sub...

Answer 8

I got the same equation, except that I simplified the first one a little bit more.

Answer 9

3d+4.55=6.5
4.55=3.5d
1.3=d

Answer 10

Is it 1.3?
