(A) $9.99: Each pizza costs approximately $9.99.
(B) $10.01: Each pizza costs approximately $10.01.
(C) $9.00: Each pizza costs exactly $9.00.
(D) $10.99: Each pizza costs approximately $10.99.

Answer 1

Each pizza costs approximately $9.99. Hence the correct answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much each pizza cost, we need to subtract the amount Molly had left after paying ($3.03) from the amount she originally had ($30). This will give us the total amount she spent on the pizzas. Then we divide the total amount spent by the number of pizzas bought (3) to find the cost of each pizza.

Therefore, the cost of each pizza is approximately $9.99.

Hence the correct answer is option C
