Problema Solution
Jeff, Tom, and Chelsea order a large pizza. They decide to split the cost according to how much they will eat. Tom pays $7.53, Chelsea eats 1/8 of the pizza, and Jeff eats 1/2 of the pizza. How much did the pizza cost?
Answer provided by our tutors
Chelsea eats 1/8 pizza
Jeff eats 1/2 pizza so, tom eats = 1-1/2-1/8 = 3/8 pizza
since 3/8x = 7.53
then, x = 7.53*8/3 = $20.08
