Question #2ead8

Answer 1

`$6.50`

Explanation:

Ratio of cost:

`"Pizza : Magazine"->2:1` giving a total of 2+1 parts =3 parts

Thus one part of the ratio is worth `color(white)(.)$9.75-:3 = $3.25`

So Pizza cost: `->2xx$3.25 = $6.50`

Answer 2

The pizza costs $6.50

Explanation:

let the magazine cost $`x`
therefore the pizza costs $`2x`
the total cost is $`3x`

`3x = 9.75`

`x = 3.25`

The magazine costs $3.25

subtract the cost of the magazine from the total

the pizza costs `$9.75 - $3.35 = $6.50`
