Answer:
Assuming that t = toppings, then the inequality is 9.25+0.75t ≤ 13.75. Solution is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define toppings as .
If the original cost of a pizza is $9.25 and each topping costs $0.75, we can find how much the toppings would cost by multiplying 0.75 by t, the amount of toppings. Adding this to 9.25 would give us the expression needed to find the cost.
If you want to spend NO MORE than 13.75, it's ok to spend $13.75, so we write the equation with a ≤ symbol (less than or equal to).
9.25+0.75t ≤ 13.75
Now lets solve the equation.
We can subtract 9.25 from both sides, which gets us
0.75t ≤ 4.5
Now we can divide both sides by 0.75 to isolate t.
t ≤ 6
So, the maximum number of toppings you can order is 6.
Hope this helped!
