You have 24.75 to spend on pizza. It costs 12$ for a cheese pizza plus $1.65 for each additional topping, tax included. Solve to find the maximum number of toppings the pizza can have. (write an inequality and solve)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1.) Write an inequality. Note: Let "t" stand for toppings. (I could have used any letter just so you know.)

$12.00+$1.65(t)=$24.75

---------------------------------------
Step 2.) Solve for "t".

$12.00+1.65(t)=$24.75

$12.00+1.65(t)-$12.00=$24.75-$12.00

$1.65(t)=$12.75

$1.65(t)/$1.65=$12.75/$1.65

t=7.72727272 (repeating)
-------------------------------------
Step 2.) Answer.

You can get 7.72(repeating) different toppings.
