Apply the linear function f(x)=.75x+9

to the following context. A large cheese pizza costs $9, and each additional topping costs $0.75. In this function, x represents the number of toppings that you choose to put on your pizza. Determine the number of toppings you chose to put on your pizza if the total cost was $13.50.(1 point)

To determine the number of toppings you chose to put on your pizza if the total cost was $13.50, we need to set up the equation:

Total cost = $9 (base cost of the pizza) + $0.75 (cost per topping) * x (number of toppings)

$13.50 = $9 + $0.75x
$13.50 - $9 = $0.75x
$4.50 = $0.75x
x = $4.50 / $0.75
x = 6

Therefore, you chose to put 6 toppings on your pizza.
