Let's assume that the cost of each pizza is x dollars.
The cost of 1 pepperoni pizza is x dollars.
The cost of 8 cheese pizzas is 8x dollars.
The cost of 4 Hawaiian pizzas is 4x dollars.
The total cost of the pizzas is x + 8x + 4x = 13x dollars.
Adding the delivery fee of $5.50, the total cost comes to $13x + $5.50.
Given that the total cost is $184.54, we have the equation: 13x + 5.50 = 184.54.
Subtracting 5.50 from both sides, we get 13x = 179.04.
Now, divide both sides by 13: x = 179.04 / 13.
Calculating this, we find that x ≈ $13.77.
Therefore, the cost of each pizza is approximately $13.77.
However, none of the given answer choices are close to this amount.

Oh I apologize, I misread the question, it's a actually:
You are ordering pizzas for a birthday party and getting them delivered to your house. You order 12 pepperoni pizzas, 8 cheese pizzas, and 4 Hawaiian pizzas. There is a delivery fee of $5.50. If your total comes to $184.54, how much was each pizza? Assume that all types of pizza cost the same amount.
You are ordering pizzas for a birthday party and getting them delivered to your house. You order 12 pepperoni pizzas, 8 cheese pizzas, and 4 Hawaiian pizzas. There is a delivery fee of $5.50. If your total comes to $184.54, how much was each pizza? Assume that all types of pizza cost the same amount.
Let's assume that the cost of each pizza is x dollars.
The cost of 12 pepperoni pizzas is 12x dollars.
The cost of 8 cheese pizzas is 8x dollars.
The cost of 4 Hawaiian pizzas is 4x dollars.
The total cost of the pizzas is 12x + 8x + 4x = 24x dollars.
Adding the delivery fee of $5.50, the total cost comes to 24x + $5.50.
Given that the total cost is $184.54, we have the equation: 24x + 5.50 = 184.54.
Subtracting 5.50 from both sides, we get 24x = 179.04.
Now, divide both sides by 24: x = 179.04 / 24.
Calculating this, we find that x ≈ 7.46.
Therefore, the cost of each pizza is approximately $7.46.
Hence, the answer is A. $7.46.
The cost of 12 pepperoni pizzas is 12x dollars.
The cost of 8 cheese pizzas is 8x dollars.
The cost of 4 Hawaiian pizzas is 4x dollars.
The total cost of the pizzas is 12x + 8x + 4x = 24x dollars.
Adding the delivery fee of $5.50, the total cost comes to 24x + $5.50.
Given that the total cost is $184.54, we have the equation: 24x + 5.50 = 184.54.
Subtracting 5.50 from both sides, we get 24x = 179.04.
Now, divide both sides by 24: x = 179.04 / 24.
Calculating this, we find that x ≈ 7.46.
Therefore, the cost of each pizza is approximately $7.46.
Hence, the answer is A. $7.46.
