Solution

Solution Steps

To determine whether the statement about Brandon's daily routine makes sense, we need to calculate the daily cost of buying a slice of pizza and a soda if the annual cost is $20,000. We can do this by dividing the annual cost by the number of days in a year. Then, we compare the result with the options provided to see which one matches.

Step 1: Calculate the Daily Cost

Given the annual cost of buying a slice of pizza and a soda is $20,000, we need to find the daily cost. We divide the annual cost by the number of days in a year:

\[ \text{Daily Cost} = \frac{20000}{365} \approx 54.7945 \]

Step 2: Compare the Daily Cost with the Options

We compare the calculated daily cost with the options provided:
