Erica and 4 friends are going out for pizza for dinner. They split one pizza and 5 small drinks. The pizza costs $13.00. They spend a total of $20.50. Find the cost of one small drink. Define the variable, write and solve an equation, and answer the question.

to find the cost of a small drink, you might want to:

total cost : $20.50

cost of pizza :$13.00.

cost of one small drink : total cost - cost of pizza

                                      :  $20.50 - $13.00.

                                      : 20.50

                                    -   13.00

                                      :    07. 50

                                     :   $ 7.50

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.

hope i .

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2
