A one-topping pizza costs $15.00. Each additional topping costs $1.25. Let x be the number of additional toppings. You have $20 to spend. Which equation can you solve to find the number of additional toppings you can get on your pizza?

The choices are:

A. 15x+1.25=20

B. 1.25x+15=20

C. 1.25x-15=20

D. 15x-1.25=20

B. because x is an unknown amount of toppings and its 1.25 per extra topping and you have to add 15 because you can't just buy toppings you have to buy the pizza

So,

Our total will be equal to 20. If we want 1 additional topping, we will have an additional $1.25. If we want 2 additional toppings, we will have an additional $2.50. So we can just multiply the number of additional toppings by 1.25 to get the additional amount.

1.25x

However, you will have already spent $15.

1.25x + 15 = 20

This is option B.

P. S. You will be able to put exactly 4 additional toppings.
