    1 pizza should cost $5.65

    Pizza is $5.65 then bottle of coke is $2.45

    3 pizzas and coke: ($5.65*3) + $2.45 = $19.4

    I solved this by setting up and solving a system of linear equations:

    Variables: p = pizza, c = coke

    p = c+3.2

    3p+c = 19.4

    Solve by substitution

    3 (c+3.2) + c = 19.4

    4c+9.6 = 19.4

    c = 2.45

    Re-plug in:

    p = 2.45+3.2

    p = 5.65
