Answer:

6 pictures

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pictures that was bought

Let y be the total amount of money collected for the picture

y= 3.25+12.75

3.25+12.75x= 79.75

Therefore x can be calculated as follows

12.75x= 79.75-3.25

12.75x= 76.5

x= 76.5/12.75

= 6

Hence Joshua ordered 6 pictures
