Answer
Cost of Jake
Cost of Jake=cost of Pizza+French fries
Cost of Jake=3/8 Pizza+4
Cost of Bill= cost of Pizza+Drink=5/8 Pizza+1.5
Cost of Bill= Cost of Jake
3/8 Pizza+4= 5/8 Pizza+1.5
2.5=(5-3)/8 Pizza
Pizza=2.5 x 8/2=$10
Cost of Pizza=$10
That much is cost of whole Pizza.
Cost of Jake=cost of Pizza+French fries
Cost of Jake=3/8 Pizza+4
Cost of Bill= cost of Pizza+Drink=5/8 Pizza+1.5
Cost of Bill= Cost of Jake
3/8 Pizza+4= 5/8 Pizza+1.5
2.5=(5-3)/8 Pizza
Pizza=2.5 x 8/2=$10
Cost of Pizza=$10
