Answer:

$8.99


Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of one pizza be p

Since 3 pizzas and 1 salad (costing $11.98) costs $38.95, we can write an equation:

[tex]3p+11.98=38.95[/tex]

Solving the equation for p would give us cost of one pizza:

[tex]3p+11.98=38.98\\3p=38.95-11.98\\3p=26.97\\p=\frac{26.97}{3}=8.99[/tex]
