    The document presents a math puzzle involving toppings and prices on a pizza menu. It lists various topping combinations and their corresponding prices, with the prices given in pairs. The goal is to determine the individual price of each topping, given that the prices are full dollar amounts. The summary explains that since pineapple and capsicum cost $2 together, each must cost $1 individually. It then shows how to use this information and simple math to deduce the individual price of each other topping by considering their listed price combinations. The key clues are that the prices are full dollar amounts and the listed pairs allow determining one price to then deduce the other.

    Mind Teasers : The Pizza Menu Maths Puzzle 

    You and your friends decide to have a pizza. Upon reading the menu, you find out that
    you have to pay a specific amount to add additional toppings. Following are the prices:
    Olives & Black Pepper $7
    Red Pepper & Jalapeno $6
    Pineapple & Capsicum $2
    Corn & Black Pepper $5
    Mushrooms & Pineapple $4
    Capsicum & Corn $3
    Jalapeno & Pineapple $5

    Now, you can see that the prices are given in pair. Can you find out the price of each
    topping separately if you know that the prices are not in fractions and are an increment of
    a full dollar?

    Answer & Explanation

    Explanation :

    Solution:

    As we have been informed that the prices are a full dollar increment, this eases out the situation.

    If we look at the price of pineapple and capsicum, we can easily make out that both of them are
    priced $1.
    This is because the price has to be at least $1 and since both of them costs $2 together, they must
    cost $1 separately.

    Solving the rest of the question is child ? s play. You have to use simple mathematics.

    For an instance:
    Jalapeno + Pineapple = $5
    Now, we know that pineapple costs $1. Thus,
    Jalapeno + $1 = $5
    Jalapeno = $4

    You can find out the price for each one of the toppings in a similar fashion.
    Capsicum $1
    Pineapple $1
    Mushrooms $3
    Corn $2
    Jalapeno $4
    Red Pepper $2
    Black Pepper $3
    Olives $4
