Jason and Jennifer each want to but themselves a pizza.?

Jason needs 10 more dollars to buy his pizza. Jennifer needs only one more dollar to buy her pizza. They decide to pool their resources to buy one pizza to share but they still do not have enough. Neither has any change; we are only dealing with whole dollars here. How much does a pizza cost? .Jason and Jennifer each want to but themselves a pizza.?
ten dollars
$10 because if Jennifer only needs one more dollar and still doesn't have enough when they combine their funds, it means Jason must have less than one dollar which must mean he has zero dollars. So if he's $10 short the pizza costs that much.



So basically he's trying to buy a pizza with no money...Jason and Jennifer each want to but themselves a pizza.?
10
