Gentle note to all experts and tutors: Please refrain from replying to this question until the Official Answer (OA) is revealed. Let students attempt to solve it first. You are all welcome to contribute posts after the OA is posted. Thank you all for your cooperation!The price of Vegetarian Pizza and Meat Pizza are V and M.
We need to find the price of 2V ?
Statement 1:
(1) Tim bought 1 meat pizza and one vegetarian pizza for $18.80.
1M+ 1V = $18.80
we don’t have any values pertaining to M or V.
hence,
insufficient Statement 2:
(2) Alex bought 2 meat pizzas and 2 vegetarian pizzas for $37.60.
Statement 2 is a re worded version of Statement 1.
2*(1M+ 1V ) = 2* $18.80 = $37.60
Hence, Insufficient Combining both statements, will not give any possible results.
