Answer 1

8.99 i got 100 percent in the test so just copy

Answer 2

$8.99

Explanation:

Let price of one pizza be p

Since 3 pizzas and 1 salad (costing $11.98) costs $38.95, we can write an equation:

`3p+11.98=38.95`

Solving the equation for p would give us cost of one pizza:

`3p+11.98=38.98\\3p=38.95-11.98\\3p=26.97\\p=(26.97)/(3)=8.99`
