A slice of pizza cost $3.19 and they drink cost X dollars the cost of a slice of pizza and a drink together is $5.61 complete and solve the equation that represents the cost of the drink

Answer 1

Let's represent the cost of the drink as D.

The cost of a slice of pizza is $3.19.

The cost of a slice of pizza and a drink together is $5.61, so we can write the equation:

3.19 + D = 5.61

To solve for D, we can subtract 3.19 from both sides of the equation:

D = 5.61 - 3.19

D = 2.42

Therefore, the cost of the drink is $2.42.
