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 รท $1.25 = 5
Heather ordered 5 toppings.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many additional toppings Heather ordered.
First, we subtract the cost of the large cheese pizza from the total amount she paid:
$15.25 - $9 = $6.25
Next, we divide $6.25 by the cost of each additional topping:
$6.25 / $1.25 = 5
Therefore, Heather ordered 5 additional toppings.
So the answer is: 5.
To find out how many toppings Heather ordered, we need to determine the difference between the total cost she paid and the cost of the base pizza.
The base pizza costs $9, and the additional toppings cost $1.25 each. So, the total cost without any toppings can be calculated as follows:
Total Cost without Toppings = Base Pizza Cost + Number of Toppings * Cost per Topping
Total Cost without Toppings = $9 + 0 * $1.25
Total Cost without Toppings = $9
Now, we subtract the total cost without toppings from the total cost Heather paid to find the cost of her toppings:
Cost of Toppings = Total Cost Paid - Total Cost without Toppings
Cost of Toppings = $15.25 - $9
Cost of Toppings = $6.25
Since each topping costs $1.25, we divide the cost of toppings by the cost per topping to find the number of toppings:
Number of Toppings = Cost of Toppings / Cost per Topping
Number of Toppings = $6.25 / $1.25
Number of Toppings = 5
Therefore, Heather ordered 5 toppings.
