John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $12.00. They spend a total of $16.95. Find the cost of one large drink.

A$14.48
B$2.48
C$1.70
D$1.65

Verified Answer :

D: $1.65. How ti get this answer i knew that A and B were too much so i took C and multiplied by 3 (three for the amount of drinks) and then added 12 to see if it equaled 16.95 but it was too much so i knew it had to be D, Another method is that you know that you need to add 4 to 12 to equal 16 so i took the 4 and the .95 and divided by 3 and got 1.65.

Answer:

The answer is the option D

\(\$1.65\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the cost of one drink

we know that

The equation of the total cost is equal to

\(12+3x=16.95\)

Solve for x

\(3x=16.95-12\)

\(3x=4.95\)

\(x=4.95/3=\$1.65\)
