a
$1.75
b
$1.80
c
$2.33
d
$11.33

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we first need to figure out how much each person paid for the pizza and drinks.

The total cost of the pizza and drinks was $20.50.

The cost of the pizza was $13.50, so the cost of the drinks must be $20.50 - $13.50 = $7.00.

Since there were 4 large drinks, the cost of one large drink is $7.00 / 4 = $1.75.

Therefore, the cost of one large drink is $1.75, which is option A.
