John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $12.50. They spend a total of $16.85. Write an equation to represent the problem. Find the cost of one large drink.

Hm, okay.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if the pizza cost $12.50, and the total money spent is $16.85, we must first subtract our money spent on pizza from the total amount spent.

$16.85 - $12.50 = $4.35

So, that means that John and his two friends spent $4.35 on 3 large drinks. But how do we figure out how much each individual drink cost?

We divide $4.35 by 3.

$4.35 / 3 = $1.45.

So, the amount of money spent on one large drink was $1.45.

step-by-step explanation:

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
