A gourmet pizza café sells three pizzas three sides of pizza if you buy three sizes it cost 46.24 A medium pizza cost $15.75 and a large pizza cost $17.50 how much does the small pizza cost

What we know:

Medium pizza (m) = 15.75

Large pizza (l) = 17.50

Small pizza=s

m+l+s=46.24

m+l+s=46.24

(15.75) + (17.50) + s=46.24 substitution

33.25+s=46.24 like terms

33.25-33.25+s=46.24-33.25 additive inverse

s=12.99

The small pizza (s) is $12.99.

15.75+17.50

46.24 minus answer in the top
