Nick buys 3 pancakes and a cup of orange juice at his favorite restaurant. The total cost is $8.25. If the orange juice costs $1.50, what equation can be used to find the cost of 1 pancake? How much does one pancake cost?
if you subtract the cost of the orange juice you are left with the amount for all 3 pancakes, divide that by 3 and you have the amount for each pancake.
