Answer:
B. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Plain Cheese Pizza = $11.75
Each topping = $1.25
let the number of toppings be x
hence x toppings will cost $1.25x
with this, we can construct an inequality to describe our problem:
Total cost of pizza > Cost of Plain Cheese Pizza + Cost of x toppings
substituting the known values above:
15 > 11.75 + 1.25x (subtract 11.75 from both sides)
15 - 11.75 > 1.25x
3.25 > 1.25x (divide both sides by 1.25 and rearrange, remember to flip sign when we swap sides)
x < 3.25 / 1.25
x < 2.6 toppings
since it is not logical to have 0.6 toppings (i.e partial toppings), we round this number down to the nearest whole number which is 2 toppings
