Question 897940
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.
