Three friends each bought two slices of pizza and a drink at the mall. If drinks cost $0.75,
and the total of their order was $11.25, how much did one slice of pizza cost?
+122 Here you want to find the total number of slices purchased, you can do this by 2*3=6.
Since we know they spent 0.75 each on a drink the total amount spent on drinks was then 3*0.75=$2.25
Simply deduct the total spent on drinks from the total for the order and then divide by number of purchased slices.
11.25=0.75*3+6*x
Remove drinks from total
10=6*x
thus
x=10/6
x=$1.66
