Answer 1

To represent the cost of a drink \( x \), you can set up the equation based on the information provided:

\[ x + 3.19 = 5.61 \]

Now, to solve for \( x \), subtract \( 3.19 \) from both sides:

\[ x = 5.61 - 3.19 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 2.42 \]

So the cost of a drink \( x \) is:

\[ x = 2.42 \]
