Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is $2.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by calculating the change in total cost of lunch using the data given in the question as follows:

Slice of pizza     Total cost of lunch ($)    Change in total cost of lunch ($)

         0                                7.5                                          -

         1                                 10                                          2.5

         2                                12.5                                       2.5

         3                                 15                                          2.5

         4                                 17.5                                       2.5

         5                                 20                                         2.5

         6                                 22.5                                      2.5

         7                                 25                                         2.5

         8                                 27.5                                      2.5

Since the change in total cost of lunch in table abov is constant at $2.50, this implies that for each additional slice of pizza that is purchased, the total cost of lunch increases by $2.50.

Therefore, the correct option is $2.50.
