b = big

s = small
1 b + 2 s = 5 s
b = 3 s
b = 3 * 4 = 12

To find the cost of a large pizza, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.

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.
