Answer:
$2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the price of cheese pizza and let p represent the prize of pepperoni pizza
3c + 2p= 11.75
2c + 1p = 7
Solve using elimination method
3c + 2p= 11.75 × 2
2c + 1p = 7 × 3
6c + 4p = 23.5
-
6c + 3p = 21
p = 2.5
Substitute 2.5 for p in equation 1
3c + 2p= 11.75
3c + 2(2.5) = 11.75
3c + 5 = 11.75
3c = 11.75-5
3c = 6.75
c= 6.75/3
c= 2.25
Hence the price of one slice of cheese pizza is $2.25
