The diameter of a small pizza is 16 centimeters. This is 2 centimeters more than two fifths of the diameter of a large pizza. Find the diameter of the larger.
:
Let x = diameter of the large pizza:
2%2F5 = .4
:
.4x + 2 = 16
.4x = 16 - 2
.4x = 14
x = 14/.4
x = 35 cm is the diameter of the large pizza
