A5d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.50
B4d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.88
C5d + $10.00 – $4.00 = $13.50; $1.70
D5d – $10.00 + $4.00 = $13.50; $4.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : John and 4 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 5 large drinks. The pizza cost $10.00. After using a $4.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.50.

To write : An equation to model this situation, and find the cost of one large drink.

Solution : Let d be the cost of the drink.

Number of drinks is 5.

The cost of 5 drink is 5d.

The pizza cost $10.00.

Total cost = 5d+$10

After using a $4.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.50.
