Question

Madison and Jim paid $21.08 for 1 large pizza, 2 salads with the same price. The pizza cost $11.70, which was 3 times as much as the cost of one salad. They also used a coupon for $2 off their purchase. What was the cost of one drink?

Answer 1

clearly the salad cost $11.70/3 = $3.90

that means if the drink cost $d,

11.70 + 2*3.90 + d = 21.08 + 2.00

now just solve for d

I guess they shared the drink, eh?
