b = big
s = small
1 b + 2 s = 5 s
b = 3 s
b = 3 * 4 = 12
s = small
1 b + 2 s = 5 s
b = 3 s
b = 3 * 4 = 12
Let's assume the cost of a large pizza is "L" dollars.
According to the given information, 1 large pizza and 2 small pizzas cost the same as 5 small pizzas. Since each small pizza costs $4, the cost of 5 small pizzas would be 5 * $4 = $20.
So, the equation we can set up is:
1L + 2(4) = 20
Simplifying the equation:
1L + 8 = 20
Subtracting 8 on both sides:
1L = 12
Therefore, the cost of a large pizza (L) is $12.
