Zoe goes to the store to buy soda and pizza for herself and her 5 family members. Each bottle of soda costs half a dollar and each slice of pizza costs $1. Before she leaves her house she takes just enough money to pay for her purchase. How much money did Zoe take? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Zoe is going to buy pizza and soda for 5 people + 1 person = 6 people. For 6 sodas, Zoe will pay 6 sodas * $0.5 / soda = $3. For 6 slices of pizza, she will pay 6 slices * $1 / slice = $6. Adding the price of the soda and pizza, Zoe paid $3 + $6 = $9. So the final answer is 9.
