To find the cost of each pizza, we can subtract the delivery fee from the total and then divide by the total number of pizzas.
The total cost is $184.54 - $5.50 = $179.04.
The total number of pizzas is 12 + 8 + 4 = 24.
Therefore, the cost of each pizza is $179.04 / 24 = $7.46.
So, the correct answer is $7.46.
To find the cost per pizza, we subtract the delivery fee from the total and divide it by the total number of pizzas ordered:
Total cost - Delivery fee = Cost of pizzas
$184.54 - $5.50 = $179.04
Total number of pizzas = 12 + 8 + 4 = 24
Cost per pizza = Cost of pizzas / Total number of pizzas
$179.04 / 24 = $7.46
Therefore, each pizza costs $7.46.
