d pizza restaurant d, $27.50 includes 2 large pizzas and a 12 - pack of wings for $7.98.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the cost of 2 pizzas for each restaurant

For restaurant A: $27.50 - 8.98 = 18.52$
For restaurant B: $27.50 - 8.50 = 19.00$
For restaurant C: $27.50 - 7.84 = 19.66$
For restaurant D: $27.50 - 7.98 = 19.52$

Step2: Calculate the cost per pizza for each restaurant

For restaurant A: $\frac{18.52}{2}=9.26$
For restaurant B: $\frac{19.00}{2}=9.50$
For restaurant C: $\frac{19.66}{2}=9.83$
For restaurant D: $\frac{19.52}{2}=9.76$

Answer:

A. Pizza restaurant A, $27.50 includes 2 large pizzas and a 12 - pack of wings for $8.98
