Answer 1

To find out how many toppings Heather ordered, we need to subtract the cost of the large cheese pizza from the total cost she paid.

Large cheese pizza = $9
Total cost - $15.25

$15.25 - $9 = $6.25

Since each additional topping costs $1.25, we can divide the remaining cost by the cost of each topping to find the number of toppings:

$6.25 ÷ $1.25 = 5

Heather ordered 5 toppings.
