Answer:

    43. (2) $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 43

  • Let cheese pizza be c and mushroom pizza be m
  1. 3c + 4m = 12.50
  2. 3c + 2m = 8.50

Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 1.

  • 3c + 4m - 3c - 2m = 12.50 - 8.50
  • 2m = 4.00
  • m = $2.00
  • (2) $2.00

Answer:

(2)  $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's order

3 slices of cheese pizza and 4 slices of mushroom pizza = $12.50

Grace's order

3 slices of cheese pizza and 2 slices of mushroom pizza = $8.50

The difference between the two orders is 2 slices of mushroom pizza.

The difference between the cost of the two orders is:

$12.50 - $8.50 = $4.00

Therefore, 2 slices of mushroom pizza costs $4.00

So the cost of 1 slice of mushroom pizza is:

$4.00 ÷ 2 = $2.00
