Martin orders a pasta dish that is priced at $11.99. he also orders a drink. the total cost for the pasta and drink is $14.48. which of the following equations can be used to find the cost of the drink?

14.48 + d = 11.99
11.99 + d = 14.48
11.99 + 14.48 = d
11.99 - d = 14.48

11.99 + d= 14.98

To get this answer you must come up with a simple equation at first. The total cost of the meal is $14.48 and without the drink it is $11.98.To calculate the drink price you must perform the equation, 14.48-11.98=d. Yet, that is still not in the array of choices. So, you have to add 11.98 on both sides. This will cancel out the 11.98 on the left side and give you 14.48=11.98+d and using the reflexive property you will get 11.98+d=14.48.
