A pizza restaurant near a college uses the equation y+=3.25x%2B4.25 to calculate the price of the pizza, y,with+x number of toppings. A pizza restaurant in a mall uses the table below to calculate the price of the same size pizza.

Toppings....|.... Price
3 ...............|....$13.50....y+=3.25%2A3%2B4.25=14->pizza restaurant in a mall $0.50 more
5 ...............|....$20.50....y+=3.25%2A5%2B4.25=20.50->same
8 ...............|....$31.00....y+=3.25%2A8%2B4.25=30.25->pizza restaurant near a college $0.75more

so, if pizza restaurant near a college charges $0.75 more and pizza restaurant in a mall charges $0.50 more, means pizza restaurant near a college charges $0.75-0.50=0.25 more per toppings

Which statement is true?
A. The pizza restaurant near the college charges $0.25 more per topping.

Tutor @MathLover1 takes a very long path to getting an answer; along the way her logic gets backward and she ends up with the wrong answer....

The given function for calculating the cost of a pizza at the restaurant near the college shows that the cost of each additional topping is $3.25.

The data for the pizza restaurant in the mall shows that the cost for each additional topping is $3.50: from 3 to 5 toppings, an increase of 2, the price increase is $7.

ANSWER: The pizza restaurant in the mall charges $0.25 more per topping.
