She ordered 6 large pizzas. Luckily, she had a coupon for 3 off each pizza. If the bill came to 38.94, what was the price for a large pizza?
Determine additional amount the pizzas would have cost without the coupon
6 pizzas * 3 per pizza = 18
Add 18 to our discount price of 38.94
Full price for 6 large pizzas = 38.94 + 18
Full price for 6 large pizzas = 56.94
Let x = full price per pizza before the discount. Set up our equation:
6x = 56.94
Divide each side by 6
x = $9.49
